I just made an electrified zagi thl 19 oz. with a 1100HE battery. I have a flash 5x. My rolls are not very tight.....do you know what my exp or dual rates need to be to tighten my rolls. Should I have more down or up elvator or both....I reduced the down and kept the up the same but still the rolls are not very tight....kinda loose.....looses about 5 feet..again..not very quick....thanks!!!!

I flew a friend's Zagi, set up with as much throw as possible and 60% expo on aileron and elevator functions. I could make quick rolls right on the deck that were very axial, but it took nearly full down elevator as the plane went inverted. Aileron function had the same travel both up and down.

Hey thanks guys..I messed around and put the down elevator more and the up elevator less and rolls like a champ..my zagi with my 1700 battery in it.....I switched it to full movement and put my 1100 HE battery in it (half the weight) and rolled like a champ..I am looking foreward to seeing if my 1100HE battery will make my plane roll with less down elevator....we will see..thanks again..I am rolling out of here..well my zagi does not roll 4 times a sec..but 1 a sec..and that is not bad for me!!!!
I also tryed a roll where I barely moved the stick to the left and it rolled nice...so maybe I have to much movement and it was causing a barrell roll....who knows..I will just experiment....thansk
