Default Bobcat

I had the JR gyro for the first 5 flights in my Bobcat, I had problems with it centering(I had to keep trimming the rudders before each flight), I tried different gain settings with my radio but it did not seem to correct it, I switch to the Futaba gyro and use the same settings that Kevin is using and have had ZERO problems with the rudders.
I did have an experience this past weekend that concerned me. I did a level high speed pass over the runway, when I got to the end of the runway I went to pull up and I had to pull the stick all the way back to get the plane to respond. I have read in other posts that a few Bobcats have been lost to elevator failure, I also talked with Kevin, he has the same experience pulling out of a dive. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am going to switch to JR9411 servos on my elevators, These are higher in torque(82oz vs. 56 oz with the JR3301)and they also have metal gears. I just don't want to lose my Bobcat to servo failure, I enjoy flying it to much.
Roger you will love the way the Bobcat flies. Post some pics of your Bobcat when you finish it so we can see it.
