Maybe its just me, but I think you got just a tab bit to much elevator on that Avistar. Spec's call for 1/4" Up & Down for low rates and 3/8" Up & 1/4" Down on high rates.
Hope this helps,

If its giving more then enough elevator try putting the servo arm on a lower arm on the elevator servo horn. Ive never flown an Avistar but it really shouldn't be touching. On my Kadet the rudder is placed far enough toward the nose that it gives way more than enough room for the elevator and rudder to move clearly without touching?

It should be fine if there is just a little gap between the elevator and rudder when it is pulled all the way up
