I have yet to fly a YAK. So far for me all the planes I have had have flown with more than 1" throw on the elevator, not had any snappy plane before other than my Global Raven. I don't mean just 3D planes but also planes like Laser 200, Extras, SU 31, Super Chipmunk etc. I hardly 3D but I have flown them hard and I must say with that much throw they have been very good to me.
