I have a related question:
The stabilizer on my Nexstar is a flat-bottom design, while the elevator is tapered on the bottom and on the top. Is the proper way to set up the neutral position of the elevator with the bottom edge on the same plane as the bottom of the stabilizer, or with the rear edge of the elevator centered between the top and bottom edges of the stabilizer?

Thanks.
yes if the stab is a symetrical airfoil, then the trailing edge of the elevator would be centered.
