Default RE: Up elevator makes my plane snap to the right

Thankyou for your input.

The elevators have around 25-30degrees travel.
The plane feels real touchy(sensative) around neutral elevator when flying, so for this reason I preffer to fly with as little elevator travel as possible, however when I dial less elevator in, I seem to strugle with inverted stalls, and negative spins, so for this reason I have around 25-30degrees travel on elevator to make it possible to snap, spin, and stall. Its so sensative I even have to have 100%epo on to soften it out. I tried adding heaps of weight to the nose,around 100grams, and this did not help to soften the elevator out, and it made it harder to stall,spin and snap, so I took the weight off.

So in a momment I will head out to the shed and re-hinge my dodgy aileron, I will let you know how it flys after testing.

Thanks again.
