Default Pizazz hovering pic

It was a nice day for hovering yesterday, and stevezero snapped a few pics of my Pizazz. It's got a Saito 91 with a MA 14x6 prop. The left stick is almost as sensitive as collective pitch on a heli.

Default Spoilerons?

Is it my imagination or do you have spoilerons turned on? Does it help the hover any?

Default Spoilerons

They're not really spoilerons because they don't stay up all the time, they're mixed to the elevator. They do help give additional authority to elevator inputs. Also I have ailevators where the elevator halves act like elevons. The biggest change I made was to pull out the OS 70 I had in it and put a Saito .91. The Saito weighed 1/2oz less and still fit in the same bolt holes. The change in thrust and control was remarkable. If you are struggling to hover you probably have too small an engine or too low a power/weight ratio. I think a .70 should have no more than 4.5 lbs, not 5.75 like my Pizazz.
