I have something to add, which may be helpful to some builders. As a retired airline A&P, many of the big-boys I worked on had jackscrew adjustments for the horizontal stabilizer. not uncommon at all, however,this would be really unique on a homebuilt. On one project I finished, the elevator back-pressure was pretty stiff and I did nt want to add some complex elevator trim " thingy", or bendable tabs on the trailing edge. I eventually hinged the rear attach point, and used some machinist "fine-thread,allthread", and a pivoting threaded block on the front. Granted, this was like killing a fly with a 12 ga.,however............with some messin around(and the fact that I needed some W&B tailweight, it worked out great. Sidenote, however, flying wires, or supports have to be adjusting accordingly. Far simpler solutions exist for sure.............but we like to tinker,huh? This blows the "KISS" principle out-of-the-water, but does allow the fine tuning of flight characteristics. Obviously, we arent going non-stop from Dallas to the U.K., but the closer I get to "hands-off flying at cruise...........the better I like it. I think everybody searches for the "sweet-spot". Love this design!!!!!!
