Default H9 33% Cap TOUCHY Elevator

I finished a little .61FX powered GP CAP 232 over the winter. I've only flown it a dozen times or so but here are MY observations. The plane takes off straight, climbs out nice and flies around the patch just fine. I can even fly it quite slow. But as you approach the stall, WHOA! Anything can happen. I am trying to figure out now if it CAN be flown in tight and do litlle funfly manuevers and stuff. If I can keep it balanced it will hover all day. I have had it unintentionally spin with no warning. It spun out of a stall turn last night and I had to catch it. It spun out of a flat slow turn also. I know I am experiementing seeing what I can get away with.

It weighs 6.25 lbs, CG is 1/2" aft of plan and it flies very neutral. I've shimmed in a little down and right thrust and it flies hands off inverted.

With this one I am in search of small plane nirvana . I am hoping to find a fun-to-fly .40 size plane that I can haul around whole and fly conveniently. It needs to be able to fly with some precision and it should be 3D-ish . This plane could do all that maybe.
