Default RE: Showtime

Although I have yet to run into it, I wonder if the "dead spot" some people are talking about in the elevator is what is actually causing this "snappiness". As I mentioned I have not seen either of these problems BUT, I had to replace the 110 on the second flight because it dropped a valve so now I a brand new OS108 in it and am getting it broken in so I have not been really hard on the plane just yet. During the maiden and what I did get to do in the second flight, I did several walls and touch and goes and had no problems at all.

Now when I do my walls, I come across the field, chop throttle and let the plane slow a bit, then blip a bit of throttle and pull vertical all at the same time, So I wonder if the "blip of throttle" is helping to stop it from snapping by keeping airflow over the elevators nad inboard on the ailerons. Guess I'll try to do a wall with the blip and see
