The elevator travel on mine was set at 79% up and 80% down. I believe that if the servo is so near its limits, then it should be upgraded to a more powerful servo. I had 22 ga. servo leads, btw.

I have personally witnessed three BobCats go in due to this problem. I have a friend who is a conservative flyer, who almost lost his twice in either a loop or split S. I think it is a miracle that David Reid hasn't lost his the way he flies it. In fact, mine was lost when David and Paul were flying together, and flying in a similar fashion. Paul was even split-Sing (is that a word?) from a higher altitude than David when ours went in. That was about 200 flights ago for David. Vernon's was lost doing a loop. He knew by the 10:00 position on the down side that he wasn't going to make it.

If I stll had mine, I would install 8411s or similar and make a blister to cover it. I would also check the current available at the servo in the tail with a load applied to the elevator. I would compare this to what is available to the servo with a 12 inch lead with a similar load applied just to make sure it is getting enough current to do it's job.
