So I was able to fly the snapdragon some more yesterday. Im still getting the CG and the throws dialed. It was flying nose heavy and needed a fair bit of up trim to fly hand off so I'll try moving the battery about 3/4" back to see if that affects it at all. As for throws it has 10 degrees on ailerons and 11 on elevator and it feels slightly slow on both control surfaces so I thinking of lowering expo to around 10%(I had it at 15%) before I up the rates. Besides that it still flies very well. It's stable and visible in the air, and Im 100% confident that the prop shaft wont come loose like it did on the small stick at green sea.

I wonder if the typhoon I got had a defect like a warped wing or tail because everyone else who got one likes it except me. Maybe my expectations were to high but it wasn't to stable of a plane and it didn't really fly hands off. Then again I was never able to set it up right.
