A thorough range check was performed on my F-16 by some great and very experienced guys a few weeks back. At least 10-12 guys put their equipment down to help out the new guy and I am very appreciative..

Our first check in range check mode at 100' was uneventful. I took a little jog down to the end of the runway (at least 1500 ft or so) and began operating my elevators full up to full down as quickly as I could, As instructed. When I came back the guys had noticed that their travel was at times asymetrical.

I don't feel it is appropriate to name anyone but a gentleman who is very well known in the jet community advised me to "Y" my elevators together as he felt their may have been a slight miscommunication in the dual elevator program. My elevators were on 48" extensions (they could be 36" Im not exactly sure its been a little while..)

I added a Y to the extensions, Me and another gentleman used a programmer to reverse one and messed around to get the settings right.

The elevator halfs now operate uniformly during the same test conditions, There is no sign of asymetry.

It's been a couple weeks, I still have a hard time going to sleep thinking of all that wire..

Thanks, Pete
