Netters: My inspector checked the deflection of not just the elevator, but the ailerons and rudder also. And...he insisted they be adjusted according to the plans. Also, I use full aft stick on landing in order to hold the nose gear off as long as possible. If I didn't have the full 30 percent up movement on the elevator, I couldn't hold the nose gear off as long. If you aren't getting the full 30 degrees up and 20 degrees down, I would find out what needs adjustment and then take the time to adjust it accordingly.
