Mark,

Great report. On the stall and wing drop, remember these are foam wings and as such are extremely efficent. I have the Edge from VF and my total throw is 3/8 inch on HIGH rates both up and down on the elevator, anything more than that and she stalls with the customary wing drop and she still flies just fine. VF planes are not for 3D so tons of throw is not needed. I know when you set the throws for that little movement you will be asking if it's really enough, trust me, it really is. The wing drop can also be from the elevators not being in sync through the whole range of travel.

You can always start changing the throw by doing a flight and stall it, land, change the throw in the radio, takeoff and stall it and keep doing that until it just stalls straight ahead. Then fly the snot out of it and once you land measure the throw with a ruler and you'll see it's very little and all without changing how it flies the IMAC sequences or the low speed handling
