Default RE: Tail force measurements

I was noticing a problem with it descending power off. It was heading away, and quite high at the time it started down.
The plane doesn't have the incidence the GL is supposed to have.
I oughta fix that!
I was more than pleased when it didn't munch into the ground!
I have a CF rod pulling the elevator in the up direction. When the boom bends down, that adds "up".. hmmm...
More "up" just adds to the boom down load.
