The tailplane on the full size rotates around a point substantially below the root wing rib and is mass balanced as well. I enclose a photo of the full size, showing the wing pivot. I have an AMD and a PJP Hawk (which replicates the full size and is shown below) and the different motions are immediately apparent. The flight characteristics are surprising different as well.
