Default Extreme Dazzler?

I built an Uproar witch is basically the same as a Dazzeler. My friend had a Dazzeler and it flies exactly the same. I busted the tail off mine once so during the fix I modified it to look like a Dazzeler (rounded top of the fuselage) and that did not affect the performace at all. Mine has a OS46FX with a 12-4 prop. It could hover it with a lot of coaxing. It would Knife edge AWESOME I then met someone that is on the extreme side of 3D flying and he recommended some changes for me. I made the horizontal stabilizer smaller and what I took off the horizontal stab I added to the elevators. I chopped the sides of the horz stab off and put them the on the elevators. Counterbalance elevators. I did the same to the rudder. Tail section looks just like a Top Cap. I also moved the Elevator and Rudder servo's to the tail section. Free tail weight. Put a 6v battery in it. It now will hover much better. I am now thinking of making it more tail heavy :stupid: :greedy: It is still a dog compared to a Top Cap but it is very forgiving. I have been flying mine for 5 years and it is still my favorite plane.
