Default RE: Nasty elevator induced snap

IMHO I will say any plane that uses less than 1" throw for its elevator because of snappy habits has 'problems'. Leaving aside a plane that flies at 200 mph etc. 7/16" is not much throw at all for any sport plane. Yes, some planes are designed to snap and they have their purpose but snap with little throw and all would mean just a relatively bad design. The big CMP Yak is the same, my friend flew one and dumped it after the maiden flight ... he loves to fly hard 3D and all with his QQ 50cc and QQ 100cc but that big Yak from CMP is very snappy. Seems in the ARF thread the flyers only used 7/16" throw on the elevators. Its sad for such a nice looking plane.
