One thing that the person test-flying initially has noted is that the elevator authority feels a little limited, and 'spongy' feel at either extreme. Flying here in W Australia can be very turbulent and windy much of the time and he feels an improvement in the elevator authority would be useful. The joystick has a cable pivot point separation of 3" and the elevator control horn a cable pivot separation of 4". So we are thinking of increasing the joystick pivot separation to around 4" also. However, this would mean having to raise the front of the seat about 1/2". Has anyone found a similar problem and if so how did you address it?
