Default RE: mid star

One thing to watch out for...You CAN get too much elevator
throw on the Midstar. During my first season of solo flying on the
Midstar I would bump up the throws a little on each outing.

I got to the point that it would snap out of a loop. Of course
a snap in a Midstar is pretty mild. It was pretty much just
a roll out at the top of the loop. I didnt know what was
occurring so I got my instructor to fly it once to check it out.
He said it was fine. Just too much elevator. Toned down
the throw a bit and it was fine. Unexpected snaps are pretty
exciting for a new pilot.

All the other controls you can pretty much get away with
all the throw you can get get.
