stabilizer on floats. On wheels the elevator horn is fully above the
stabilizer. Are you saying by raising the leading edge of the elevator that
will trim the elevator with the stabilizer and I should pick up a knot or
two?
If that's correct the geometry on the brackets has me a little baffled. I
see new mounting brackets with a rearward angle. Tell me more.
Thanks,
Al
PS: I told the wife I was going back to Lake Termagami next summer, she said
"where's that"? I said a little east of here.

Rebel mounting is on a vertical face..vs your horizontal face brackets. If
you are always carrying 5* up elevator in cruise....I'd start shimming
those
rear attach brackets up and see if you can get rid of the drag of carrying
up elevator. Oh what I loved about my old C182 and it's trimming stab!

angles.Walter:
This may, of course, be what's left of the Elite pitch stability problem.
It actually doesn't depart from the trimmed attitude on its own, or if it
does, it must do so extremely slowly - I should check that - but when you
give it a prod, that's all it takes to start what would has all the
appearance of being an outside loop, if you left it long enough and the
wings didn't come off first!
And Wayne:
Interesting that only a fraction of a degree on the stab incidence is
enough. You could almost fix that with shims under the stab attachI don't know how the Rebel stab is attached, but on the Elite it's just
bolted to an aluminum angle front and back.
