Default RE: elevator induced snap.

[link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4139101/anchors_4174833/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#4174833[/link] Thats the one. There is links to more disscusions on there too. Anybody know is SFG or stall strips might help? Keep in mind that this model is not a 3D model at all. It's a scale plane.... But it's performance is not so good. Snap rolls, rolls and even hammer heads are great. It's just the elevator snap that makes it a pig. I could turn it down to the point that it would never snap but then it wouldn't be able to do a loop at all or even have enough throw to get out of trouble if need be. It's a known problem with CMP yak 54 50 planes, but there has got to be a solution that doesn't kill it's performance completely.
Da Rock, I'm going to check out the CG calc a little later this afternoon. Thanks!
