REFLECTOR: Elevator cuffs

[Al Gietzen]

Al,

 

I don't have any experience with elevator cuffs, so

I'm really no help there. 

 

FWIW - my plane also has a very gentle pitch buck. On

landing, I have very positive elevator authority and

never run out of aft stick travel. I was only

referring to aileron authority - I should have made

that more clear...

 

I understood.  I was changing the subject - and should have done so on the
'Subject' line.
