Almost sounds as if you're still on the verge of flying on the wing. I fly with around 38 degrees on the ailerons (don't know what that translates to in mm on the edge but it gives me a roll rate that I like) and have found the edge to be very stable and easy to steer.

I have some planes that either want to be deep into a harrier or quite shallow into a harrier but anything in-between and they want to wing rock.

Just a thought...

For what it's worth, I found that my edge being a little nose heavy, likes to drop the left wing due to torque from the motor. When I gave right rudder in high alpha/harriers, there was almost no wing rock. I figure going more aft on cg will fix that.

We fly our planes neutral on cg

Not sure what else to add other than those servos are pretty weak for that particular plane but that's not your issue in harriers.

This may be a long shot, but if the servo arms are longer and they are connected at the outer limits of them, I wonder if blowback is an issue even in the harrier state? If the servos aren't strong enough to handle the force of the air from the prop this could lead to always being "behind the plane", correct? Thus not being stable. Correct me if I am wrong, just taking a guess

 

[yakken]

Nope no blowback. We are going to try a couple things and see how it works out.

I know this has probably been discussed before, but I want to rig up a better tailwheel steering linkage on my 36%. Can someone post a picture of the rubber tubing setups some guys use? I assume you zip tie it on?
