Default RE: DP Extra does ugly snaps

Ryan, we will probably cross paths soon and I hope you'll give me some coaching. My routine really stinks right now, but I'm practicing. What's your experience on how a snap is scored.

The frustrating part is that my crummy little Goldberg Sukhoi does beautiful clean snaps by just pushing the sticks to the corners. This airplane has no bad habits, overly sensitive elevator, scary stalls, or any of that. If a 10 year old design can do it without trying, why does a modern design have to be coaxed?

Is the DP Extra really that stall resistant? If it is, it seems like I should explore a more aft c.g.

This getting to know each other phase sure can be frustrating.
