Default RE: Elevator SNAPROLL

Is that normal?

For most every aerobatic airplane, yes.

They're designed so that the elevator can stall the wing "easily". It's how they do the snap maneuvers so fast and easily.. and do the tumbling ones.

The normal situation with those planes is for you to tune the elevator throw and your flying to give you a plane that's comfortable for you to fly. If you wish it to still do cool snaps, the you'll have to sort out the elevator throw to give you that aerobatic agility and still be comfortable.

You've got an airplane that takes "more skill" to fly. Two skills need developing. To trim the elevator and to fly what that trimming does for you.
