Default Showtime 50 Problem
Hello!
Lately, I've been having problems with my Showtime 50. On low rates, when I give some elevator input, the plane acts like it's tip stalling, always dropping a wing or snapping out. This happens when I'm trying to bank or pull out of a dive, etc. I've also heard of some Showtime 90's doing the same thing. I was getting weary of flying my ST50 because it always tried to kill itself. I stopped flying it and asked around. Then someone (with a ST90) told me to put a set of wing droops from H9's PTS Mustang on my Showtime, and HOLY CRAP they work. The ST50 tip stalls no more!

My ST50 is using an O.S. 55AX / [5]Futaba 3004's and [1]Hitec 635 servo / 6v 1400mah NiCad Rx battery. I'm using the recommended throws and the CG is right in the middle of what the manual stated.

Basically, my questions are:
-What would cause this in the first place?
-If anyone else has this problem, what did you do to fix it?
