----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- If your airplane’s documents show that you’ve got the split elevator approved, I’d suggest contacting Skyport and see about getting one. Alternatively, look around for a parting-out plane and buy the split elevator from it. Don’t forget to get the low-speed warning cushion mechanism. That’s a pre-loaded spring that should be adjusted to give you the feeling of a stop at 65 mph – then, when you are ready to flare just above the ground, you can pull against the spring and slow the plane down to a 50 mph touchdown. Some FAA idiots have rejected a few people’s paperwork when they filed a 337 to install the split elevator. Duh!
