Thank you guys for starting a thread on the element. I have been extremely pleased to work with Mr. BJ Park of BJ craft when producing the element.

The start of the element started with me flying a essence model. I knew the model had great potential in it and I just wanted to change a few components of it to suit my flying style a little better. First thing that you'll notice is the wing is moved up about 2" over the essence. For me this allows the plane to look like it's rolling a little more axial with wing near the thrust line.
The next thing was to use a modified agenda wing. I really like the way the agenda wing presented in the air and Locked in so we went with this wing and of course bigger ailerons for my faster style snaps.
The other change is going to a standard elevator instead of the full flying stab and going from 8 degrees anhedral to a straight stab with zero anhedral. This gave the model low mixing and a nice look while sitting on the ground.
If you all have any questions please let me know.
