Blade47,

Be careful with the enlarged elevators.... if they are larger from the hinge point AFT they may tend to flutter easier! I was kind of amazed that the elevator throw that Alex uses on this plane worked..... He knows what he is doing and his throws work perfectly... I set mine up to have 2 1/8" throw (like the instructions say) from neutral to up AND 2 1/8" from neutral to down!! thats a total of 4 1/4 total elevator throw measured from the widest/inboard section. I have hade ZERO problems with all that throw and no EXPO of any kind in the STAB! There is plenty of elevator available in all phases of flight with this arrangement!
