I really doubt the nose angle has anything to do with Zach's problem. My Coupe was a C-model with an 85 hp engine until last year, when we converted it to a D. The D conversion involves replacing the top fuselage aluminum skin behind the firewall with stainless steel and then reducing the elevator travel to 9 deg. up by moving the stops on the control shafts. Nothing else changed, but now the airplane is certified for a gross of 1400 lbs. So, before the change I could get the nose very high (I once measured 30 deg. nose-up with a Smart Level) when doing power-on stalls, and I found absolutly no fuel-flow problems. Now that I have the 9 deg. limit on my elevator my nose still is able to go up to about 28 deg. No problems with fuel. I suspect Zach has a fuel restriction problem due to other reasons.
