there edge 540,when you take the plane up high and stall the plane the left wing wants to dip when the plane starts to stall,ive balanced the plane laterally and it needed 3/4 on the right wing,now its perfect but when i try to hover in one spot and stall the plane it still dips to the left.Someone told me they have the same problem with there larger edge and its a stall characteristic of this type of plane,was wondering if others have this problem,or if there is something i can do to fix this.I flew my edge today,man what a rush!it was pretty windy,15-20mph winds,with gusts up to 30.I was constantly counter controlling the plane to keep it in the air,it was like a roller coster ride.I definently have to get use to flying this type of plane.

Are the elevators moving exactly the same amount and at the same time
Easiest way to check this is tape a peice of straight balsa stick to the top of both elevators and point them backwards to meet right behind the rudder and slowly move the stick to apply elevator and the sticks should stay lined up all the way through the travel. Then try it moving the elevator quickly, this will show if one servo is slower than the other
By your description, I'm guessing the left elevator is either moving more or moving more quickly.
Oh yea. The sticks should line up right from the start as soon as you tape them to the elevator
I've also seen guys glue the sticks to clothes pins and click them on the elevators

I agree with Mr. Gates in that it sounds like something is not properly aligned in the back. You should be able to cut the throttle and hold full standard rate up elevator and the plane will enter a steep forward descent with a light wing rock. No rudder or aileron input, just holding elevator.
