Default RE: How Much Elevator Throw is Enough

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I am flying a pacific aeromodels edge 540 and I have 55 degrees of elevator throw. This seems to be plenty for 3D. Actually, I'm guessing I only need about 35 degrees to harrier. I guess I was thinking that I needed the extreme throw to do other tumbling stuff but I bet that the elevator would just stall anyways and act like an airbrake. I'll play around with it some more. Maybe I'm using too much throw and it's working against me. I might tone it down a bit and see what happens.
