Astroman,

Where's your CG? For better 3D the CG should be way aft. I'm no 3D pro, but I can get mine to harrier pretty good with no spoilerons. My CG is 5 3/4" - had to add ~ 1 oz. lead under Klett tailwheel mount. I have OS .70 Surpass, 14x4W APC, 1650 mah battery behind throttle servo mount. I don't remember the elevator travel, but it's not any more than the book's 3D setting.
