Spike, I beleive you do not have to limit the up elevator travel if you do not change to the higher gross weight of the "D" model. The "CD" is the 85hp engine but retaining the 1200+ gross weight of the "C" instead of the 1400+ of the "D". If changing to the "D", you are also supposed to drill out the metering holes in the main gear suspension for the higher gross weight. . Dennis Schmaltz Mission, SD
