<DIV> The way I test for this is to pre-load the Elevator with 2-4 oz
fishing weights, 2-4 oz each side. Use a precision setup to check deflection
such as the system Jerry Budd sells. It's very accurate for this. Do the up
elevator then invert the plane and test the down elevator. Check for equal
deflection between the 2 elevators, through the range of the
deflection.</DIV>
<DIV>I bet you find the pushrod flexes to one side causing unequal pull in the
down direction. I had this happen to my Focus. Good luck</DIV>

<DIV>Elevator halves flexing is a real possiblity. Seems like
something has to be moving or giving. </DIV>

<DIV>Since the list is pretty quite it just might be a good time to
throw another plane problem that has been hurting my little brain
lately. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A friend has a Focus and flying the Intermediate pattern. He
is doing quite well but a few days ago the plane was put through some
paces that required more outside manuevering than the Int.
schedule. This is when a strange and blatant problem became
evident. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Imagine the plane flying from left to right, str and level.
Push to a one half outside loop or bunt. Plane tracks perfectly
thru two thirds of the half loop then a little prior to being wings
level headed right to left, the planes nose begins to move toward the
flightline by twenty degrees or more. Basically it corkscrews to
the planes right wing during outside loops but only begins its deviation
in the last third or quarter of the half loop. Ideas???</DIV>
