Full Deflection Elevators Pros: are more esthetically pleasing, are far stronger, can be set as trim, and produce more force. Cons: the system is heavier, can be a bit twitchy. I've decided to set it to +-15 degrees deflection for max stability when turning hard. There is also TVC to aid in pitch control. The wing loading on this thing is relatively high, but that has proved difficult to significantly reduce. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD GET IT INTO THE 30-40 lb/ft2 RANGE! 5 STARS GUARANTEED!
