It is simmilar to mine where the ailerons go to spoiler around 75 - 80 % of the elevator up throw and flaps at 75 - 80% of down elevator throw. This really does stabilize the Elev, Harrier and Waterfall type moves. I can do nice slow, tight Inverted Harrier circles for a long time with little loss of altitude and complete dirrectional control. The wing remains rock steady. Never feels like it will snap out of it unintentionally.Errol
How much does your elevator travel? How about aileron? My elevator goes about 60 deg max, while my ailerons go about 45 deg max. So I mix my setup "spoiler around 75 - 80 % of the elevator up throw and flaps at 75 - 80% of down elevator throw", would that be same relative deflection of yours?
