Surprising if yours has the stock elevator setup. The specs show only 1/4" Low Rate and 3/8" High Rate travel limits. Pretty small deflections.
Agree about grass ops. Those long legs really drag the tail up.
I'm still debating bringing mine along to the rally. Still working out the programming bugs with the new JR Tx and not really comfortable doing that in front of crowds, nor trying pavement for the first time at an event like this. May have it sitting static, though.
