I think he has some wires crossed there. As you know, the Saber doesn't have a full-flying stab, or for that matter, elevator balance tabs, so I don't know how you would even "balance" it, let alone what problems that could cause (or cure).
I know that Mike lost his because of an apparent elevator failure, but the last time I talked to him, I believe he thought that it was electronics related, not any type of structural or aerodynamic issue.
