Don't forget to install the two locking bolts in the lower part of the JR arm. Failure to do so could cause the arm to spring apart.

QUOTE=rchobbymodels;12073104]Has become to our attention an issue on the F100 elevator authority, for jets that is flying heavy (more than 52 Lb in weight), the nose is very slow to recover from a hard maneuver, we are working on this issue and have a solution already we are going to increase 1/2" on the elevator mechanism arm, this will transfer big momentum to the elevator correcting the known issue. So for the pilots that are flying less than 52 Lb there is no problem at all, for those that are on the heavy side we recommend do not fly with all armament and do not make any hard maneuver, the jet will fly good without any problem.
Lewis already made an adaptation on his F100 as shown in the picture below and he report great improvement.
We will send to our customer soon we have received the new elevator mechanism, but please be patient, this takes a while, we depend the 3rd part to CNC new mechanism and we have to follow their production schedule

Obs. The new orders will be update before goes to the customers
