Default Ikarus F3A Elevator, enough for 3D?

Hi somewhere read that you have flown this shocky. Is the elevator enough for 3D or I should enlarge a bit by cutting some stab area?

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Nick,

I have been flying this plane a little bit lately. I think that the stock elevator is plenty. It will not let you hit a wall like the yak 54 does but it also doesnt hunt as bad in level flight. I think if I were to increase anything it would be the ailerons as the roll rate is a little slow. If you want better elevator authority just add counterbalances to the elevators.
