tom, thanks again..... I went out and had my maiden flight this weekend. I sent the plane, got her airborn & just a little aileron trim & up elevator trim she flew very nice. Then one side of the elevator went down about an inch................ I was able to land her safely & softly, no damage!!!! Thanks for the info, I'll get busy. I,m also looking at the new 260 540 with the dl- 30 they look nice............Dave
