Default RE: Tail heavy DP Extra?

Mine was a handfull to fly at 5 3/4" and very hard to land cause it wanted to balloon in. At 5" it is easier to handle and still feels tailheavy. Still wanted to balloon a little so I drop the airlerons 1/2" on landing and it solved the ballooning problem. At 5" I have slight climb while inverted which is what I like. My biggest problem now is the plane wants to snap right with heavy elevator input like a wall. Now that I know its coming, I can handle it but don't like it. Version 1 with Taurus 52 with 100 or so flights.
