The post specifiying "total travel" is accurate. I've flown a Curare in SPA for the last two years. The anhedral stab is extremely effective. Too much rudder travel disurbs the air over the tail and causes the plane to do very strange things. Set with very mild throws, the plane will do anything you ask and track very well. If you can see a surface move at low rates, you probably have enough. High rates a bit more. My rudder is about 3/4" each way at low rates. That's plenty to hold point rolls and knife edge.
