Default DO FULL SIZE PLANES TRIM OUT PROPERLY

Does anyone know if a full size Extra (any series) MX2 or Yak 54 if the horsepower is there when in knife-edge do they require any elevator aileron coupling from the pilot. Our models are based off these planes and when we go to trim them for IMAC they are way off. Mostly the stabs are way to friggen high in relation to wing. One of the few designs that trim out perfectly, are QQ designs cause he lowers the stab so much its almost in line with wing but not blanketed by it, but this is stretching the scale rule thing. I see some great full composite and wood models out there that look good but most trim out like a pig cause they do the right thing and keep close to scale lines. Allot of company’s produce lifting airframes as well which I don’t get in an aerobatic model. I want 0-0 incidence and create lift when I want it, which way I want it with elevator.
