Guys,
How much movement on the control surfaces ?

10/15mm or more??

Plus the antenna for the VTX  how long do you have it or is around an inch outside the body okay??

Although I tend to fly through daft gaps so maybe i better not go to long...

10 - 15mm is enough not to promote a stall. I have more only because of FY31 dulling my sticks in stabilization. When stab is off 15mm is plenty

On 5.8Ghz ( that I`m using ) the prop really kills the performance especially if its carbon. So if like me your mounting the vtx on the hatch then the higher the better. I just made a 30cm Skew to sort this ou.

Really if your on 5.8Ghz I would say the wing tips are going to be a less practical to wire but much better performing position. If you go for wing tip, a long antenna tail is not needed
