Made it back in one piece after a very hairy flight in my eindecker. I had that cold sweat that many fighter pilots discribe in combat, when I finally landed. It seems that my elevator was WAY off center and once in the air I was flying with full down trim as well as about 10%-15% down on the stick. The flying was not so bad, although, as soon as I got airborn, the wind began to pick up, but trying to land this kite under these circumstances was not fun. Any more than 1/4 throttle would cause it to climb and stall and once on approach I was either diving towards the ground with no power or climbing with power and no forward airspeed. The point of all of this is that if you are doing a full flying elevator, understand that you need very little throw and refrain from paying too much attention to the LE of the elevator. I found that I was focusing on the LE rather than the TE.

The fix will be to level the fuselage and set the elevators to level as well. Than I will make a small mark on the side of the Fuselage near the LE as a refrence point for future adjustments. No one at this field wants to see that kind of flying agin. It was like watching last years red sox -yankees series.
