My hat is off to Billy hell. I flew the Topcap today agian. I loosened the cables a little bit and the centering problem went away. You do have to be careful though...to loose and you get flutter to tight and you get the poor centering problem. Thanks Billy the plane flies great.

This really is not the right column....but here goes. I increased the elevator today to almost 50 degrees of throw each way and got the plane into the most awesome waterfall ever....only one problem the plane would not come out !!!! `I could only control the rate of the flips with throttle. The plane went right in in a full waterfall. Can you believe only a broken prop.
Well I changed props and figured some opposite elevator combined with spoilers or flaps should help me recover this time. Off I went agian into a waterfall and tried to pull out much higher, agian I was unable to recover. Agian only a broken prop. (strong plane)
I finally found the problem. When I pushed full down and then full rudder the rudder pull pull hardware jammed the elevator in the full down position !!!!!! I cut some reliefs in the elevator halves and problem solved and only at the expense of two props. So be carefull
Bye for now
