Default RE: Tail heavy DP Extra?

I also managed to get out this weekend. I had a sort-of successful flight. I now wonder if all my problems are related to too much elevator authority. I have mine set at 3/4 inch measured at the front of the counterbalance. It is extremely pitch sensitive. I did have a flame-out of my OS 1.60 and it glided back very nicely. No ballooning or anything like that. Just settled into a nice glide slope with a little back stick.

Anyway, what is a good elevator throw for basic precision flying and at what point should it be measured?
