Seagull Extra 300 warped elevator half?
The title says it all. I have flown this plane about a dozen times and it would always snap out of a loop if i pulled hard on the elevator. rechecked the throws several times and then finally got down on the ground behind it and it was noticable right away. what can i do to straighten this out. The warp is not a large one. Should i just build another half or can this be fixed. this plane was assembled last winter and then flown this spring once the snow was gone. Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks

Lots of planes will snap with too much elevator are you sure it's just not too much throw ?
it may be the warp but that should show up in level flight as well by needing excessive trim.
in either the elevator or ailerons.
Maybe some other 300 flyers can chime in

update. I built a new elevator half and put it on. that was def. the problem as i was set on low rates according to the manual anyways. She does beautiful loops now. I have yet to try high rates, probably won't for a while.
