[NSRCA-discussion] Focus 1.5

[R. LIPRIE]

Well it could be because the focus is such a long airplane.  But that is no excuse.  I flew one just Saturday and it does a very nice snap roll.  I believe your best problem would be CG>>>/.

  You might want to check elevator throw -
  My Focus likes at least 21 degrees of elevator throw to get a clean
  break for the snap.  Also confirm no linkage flex and enough elevator
  servo power.
