Default Snap in the AeroWorks 60-90 Extra 260?

Flew the Aeroworks 60-90 Extra 260 yesterday for the first time. The model is powered by Saito's 82 and overall flew great. Trimming was uneventful and when all was finished I had 2 clicks of down elevator. Very nice loops and rolls, plenty of power. Very stable in the light 5-10 mph crosswind.

I did notice a snap tendency pulling 3/4 or more elevator, even on low rate. Is this common for the model or is there something I should look for in mine?

2 clicks of down elevator plus snappy= tail heavy.

Yeah, they can be a little snappy when flown at the recommended CG. This is a good thing if you want clean breaks during snap rolls and spins, but it can be disasterous when trying to perform 3D near the ground. I have almost a dozen flights on mine and really enjoy it.
