Not sure what you consider ''high speed'' aerobatics, but most 3d planes are not designed for ''high speed'' performance. For that you want a turbine or a pattern plane. Balanced elevators are about increasing control surface area to give more authority at lower speeds, thus they are not really needed on a pattern plane or jet that has plenty of air moving over the control surfaces to induce any desired maneuver.
Hi Jerry

This is what I call "high speed" aerobatics.
