Default RE: Sky Master Hawk

I gutted one and re-stuffed it a couple of months ago. I suggest a matchbox and two 8611's on the horizontal stab.

I maidened said aircraft for it's owner about a month ago. The airplane was rock steady at any speed.

With full flaps I came in for an approach and everything was great. I overshot the runway and went carefully to full power. Just on climbout in a shallow left bank I "felt" the elevator go soft. I had been expecting to see something related to the elevator with flaps down.

I immediately came back off the power a little bit and raised the nose even more and elevator came right back solid.

So now I know

FWIW.

By the way, the landing by all accounts was the best one I've had in quite a while. It was a beautiful flight !!
