Interesting. I don't fly competitions but I practice the sequences to improve my flying skills. One of the things I have noticed (have no idea why) is that the 260 design just seems to fly more precisely then the 300s or 330s do. Thats what drove me to buy the Wild Hare 260, the lines seem to be some of the cleanest I have seen & the foam cored wings are better then anything except for possibly the composites. I had never noticed the stab being moved, but then I had never looked either.
