Agreed....follow the manual suggestions for throw. You will be surprised how little travel this plane needs on the elevator.

A couple other things to watch out for are;

Don't throw full throttle on takeoff, it WILL take a hard right turn. Come in nice and easy so you can keep it going the direction you want it to.

Also keep your speed up on landing, it's not supposed to float. It is a nice landing plane but it's a war bird and needs a little more airspeed than most other planes. Your better long or go around than low and slow and end up short.
