Default RE: Roll Out Issue- Extra 300s

The fullscale airplane is designed to be easy to stall the wing with maximum elevator deflection. It's how airplanes like the CAPS, Pitts, Ultimates, Extras, Edges, Sukhoi's, do the "snap" maneuvers.

The models of these airplanes are the same. They're easy to stall the wing with enough elevator deflection.

It's up to us to tune the elevator throw to suit our wishes for how we want the model to fly.

A lot of experienced flyers reduce the elevator throw until the model no longer snaps out of the tightest loops. Then they increase it back until it just snaps. Then they use dual rates to make it easier to fly the model. They use high rates when they want to do snap rolls and such. They use low rates for landing and the smooth maneuvers. Or they simply learn how much elevator stick to use.
