Default RE: DP Extra does ugly snaps

I actually am having a problem deciding where I want my C.G. I am currently at 5-3/4 inch. It seems too far forward per the NSRCA precision trimming guide. The part that gets me confused is elevator sensitivity. This airplane seems to have an extremely powerful elevator. For my style of flying, my elevator deflection is very small (3/4 inch). If I move the C.G. back, I'll have to cut my elevator throw even more.

All in all, I'm very challenged to get this airplane to handle the way I like. It may be too 3D oriented for me. The huge surfaces seem to be getting me messed up.
