"Johncondor , Any New Year pressies to share ?"
Following MichaelP's helpful story of the failed elevator gap seal we decided to try fitting a temporary seal. As the gap between the elevator and tail plane is only about an eighth of an inch we did not really expect much effect. How wrong we were. It has transformed the trim handling beyond our wildest dreams and removed a long standing problem.
Next job- to do it properly and remove the fixed trim tab that someone fitted in the dim and distant past.
