My Rafale came in at about 17lbs with ram 500 and my elevator travel was nowhere close to yours, I will increase quickly before the next flight. Due to the fact that my elevator travel was not enough I ended up giving about 45 degrees on the carnards to be able to land her. How much fuel you have on board. I have 74oz plus hopper.
Hi Jose,
A friend of mine has one of these that flies very sweetly. It is powered by a Wren 54 mk3 and weighs only 13 lbs.
I think 17lbs is a lot for this model. Any way you can reduce the weight?
Regards,

John
