If you have your Bandit set up with the CG at the point indicated on the plans it will be a touch nose heavy and it is harder to land. My BB is setup with the CG at 8 1/2" this is 1/2" behind the starting point CG and it lands very well. You also need to make sure that when you land it you hold it off until it settles down onto the runway. You can't force a landing with the Bandit or you are replacing flex plates. I have found that using the speed brake definetly helps my landings become more consistent.

1 1/8" sounds right for the elevator, I believe that is the same for the rudder although I could only get 7/8" on mine because of a little mod I did on mine.
