Hello Airforce 7,

The Rookie is my second Jet. My first was a kind of Alphajet type (conventionnal wings and elevator with 2.2m span and 17.5 kg TOW.

The airbrake didn't work because the inner skin was ripped out at the first opening (low to middle speed, positive nose up attitude.). I have made some modifications.
The turbine is an AMT Pegasus (year 1997, with only 2 hours).

I have the 25 to 30mm of travel on the elevator and 20mm on the ailerons. I have also 15 to 20 mm travel on the canard. As said in the notice.
A friend of mine have a kangaroo and told me as well that is has more or less 4mm trim nose up on his elevator.
What you propose (5mm trim nose up), is it for take off and landing or during all phase of flight ?

So here are some pictures of my Rookie before the missed landing... and after...

Thanks for you help.
Regards.
Jeff
