Optec, I don't know your experience but if you are new to high performance scale aerobats then you need to listen when I say you must use dual rates when starting to fly these planes. For general flying and pattern style aerobatics your elevator throws cannot be more than about 9/16" at the widest part of the elevator. Any more and this plane will snap (high speed stall). It may not look like much throw but trust me, its plenty. With your forward CG it should be very stable with these throws yet plenty sensitive. You set your high rate for full deflection and 3d and switch back and forth during your flight. Only with much experience with your plane and knowing when it is about to snap can you fly on high rates all the time. Good luck!
