REFLECTOR: elevator travel

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Seems like Length of Elevator (from pivot) and Length of travel from neutral should be a simple geometric equation.  I'm sure there is a variation in those numbers, but should be easy enough to figure out.

I can get two inches both up and down on my FG Elite installed on the plane. John Abraham helped me do final rigging. You might call him at factory to get his opinion.

I just finished the concentric torque tube conversion on my 1989 Velocity. Before I fly it I want to check for proper travel of the elevator up and down. My manual shows the travel in degrees while the canard is on the bench. I don’t see a measurement in inches up or down from neutral. Is there such a measurement? I do find a measurement up and down for the ailerons but not the elevators.
