I didn't see David's post until after posting my last reply. I don't have an answer as to why there is a difference in atv between our setups. Obviously I can't go check mine now, but I had so much elevator throw I thought it should snap really well if full stick was given.
I also just got off the phone with Vernon. Vernon said he was definitely going less than 180 mph. Maybe this explains why David is always zooming around. He has done it so long that anything under 200 seems like 100 or so. You know, Eintein's theory of releltivity. As speed increases, time slows down. May David's eyeballs are in warp drive!
In any case, it is very good advice that if you feel any softness in elevator athourity with your BobCat, ground it until you figure out why.
