Default RE: Beryll Flight Reports?

I did notice a slight elevator trim change when switching stabs. With the original stab I had a slight amount of up trim in the elevators. Now I have a slight amount of down trim. Could be due to the change to anhedral or simply differences in the stab tips to the stab and where I centered the elevators for the first flights. In any case the elevators are now just below the stab tips. One thing I have noticed is the Beryll is more difficult to stall turn than my Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is easy to try to push the limits with as it stalls very well. Without a crosswind hitting the side of the Beryll it wants to flop. I doubt it is the stab change but I didn't have enough time on it with the original stab to say for sure.

Oxai does sell the anhedral stabs and can likely get you a perfect match to which ever scheme that you currently have. My replacements were in stock and matched perfectly.
