hi greg,
i have a votec but really only have about 7 flights on it so far. from what i can tell all the surfaces are very effective/efficient, especially that huge rudder.IMO it doesn't slow down like alot of other planes do on downlines and such. i have the competition version so mine flies light. for whatever reason mine can easily waterfall down from say 100feet and stay in the same postion w/ litte effort. i've been told it takes some work to get nice stationary torque roll but mine is stable. inverted harriers are completely stable , upright you need to find the "sweet spot". mine has coupling going in only one direction and gets to be alot at full rudder throw. i'm using a DA 150 on stock mufflers, 3serv's per ail and 2 per stab but might take one out of each surface to save some more weight.
good luck w/ yours,
steve
