Pete,

Hence the reason why I picked this particular one. If the report is accurate, I find it nearly incredulous to believe that a builder (manufacturer) can find himself "unaware" of line of thrust issues regarding his build until after an accident. Before the tailplane (or anything) is adjusted, several key questions need to be asked....

-Why do I need to do this?
-What else can cause this particular problem?
-Is this the correct fix?
-What evidence is in support of the above?

Then independent / unbiased confirmation of everything, should then be the order of the day.
