Default RE: Showtime 4d snap and other problems

My Showtime would snap at less than half throttle and low throws,the only thing that helped some was feeding in some opposite rudder during the maneuver.(opposite to the way it snapped) I ended up in a throttle off dive(like starting a parachute)several times and it snapped during the pull-out,nearly lost it. I couldnt even think about walls/parachutes down low,which is what 3-D is all about. It also rocked gently in harriers & nothing would make it lock,not spoilerons,not aileron. It wasnt dangerous but harriers look best when locked in, and landings are not good idea when rocking. I didnt have it long enough to "play" with many set ups,just CG a little bit.(lateral & for-aft were perfect). I think they all need some tweeking but the Showtime needed several things at least.(it was HEAVY too!,over 10lbs porker!) The only problem I have with the X100 is tail heavyness, and that is easy to fix.
