I'm running a program mix to get some up elevator with rudder in either direction. It seems that 10% is about right for low to medium rudder deflections, but at full throw the tuck overpowers the mix and it goes toward the belly strongly and rolls in the direction of rudder input.
My plane is fairly nose-heavy at the moment, I've just moved the tank back to the CG, and I'm moving the CG from 4.75" back to 6.25". I've been hearing that getting the CG back reduces the tuck issue. We'll see this weekend.
