Dew,

Glad you like your Zafiro. I love mine. I have a YS 110 and it is rediculous. I do most of my flying at 1/3 throttle. I have mine set up for pattern but kept the control surfaces their original size just in case I wanted to move into 3D with it.

Jeff,

I'm sure you'll love your Zafiro. I almost decreased the size of the control surfaces like you are doing. Instead, I just decreased their throw a lot. It is one sweet flying plane. Mine came in at 8.9 lbs, a little heavy in my book. Guess the paint added more than I wanted it too. Nevertheless, it has unlimited vertical and flies great... I love it.
