RE: Tumbling
There are a number of factors involved getting a plane to tumble including but not limited to, CG location, control size and travel, and as Dave mentioned above, overall weight. My Aeroworks Extra 260 will tumble but it has a VERY aft CG (it's setup for 3D) and 45 degs of elevator throw with 53 degs of rudder travel. Good luck at getting the tumbles figured out.
