Default RE: Citabria Pro by Balsa USA

Den, with the 1.60 mine carries a little bit more weight than some of the others I have seen, combine this with too much elevator throw and the plane wants to snap at the bottom of loops and in real hard turns. I just dialed out a bit of throw and it calmed right down. The elevator is huge on this bird and it's pretty effective too. I also sealed the gaps on all of my control surfaces which really helped the ailerons out and picked the roll up a bit but it still could be better. I went with the books recommended balance point and since the plane flew pretty good just left it there.

Overall I really like the plane, it's just not a Cap and I have to keep telling myself that when I first take off, after 5 minutes I'm back in the groove and flying the heck out of her.
