Yep. As built, mine pitched down rather badly. I had wedges bonded to the bottom of the elevator to fix the trim for several years until I finally cut the horizontal stab and elevator off to build a much larger tail to address the pitch instability that was also designed into the plane. I adjusted the incidence by 1? when I built the new tail. The trim is now flush with the elevator at normal cruise speeds. My wing is also set up with 3 1/2? incidence and 3? washout, although with a bit longer wing than Larry's. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM
