Hey Guys and Gals: I do not mean to belabor the point here, as there has
been plenty of discussion on this subject. However. I stand by my original
comments that I believe the split elevator makes for better control both in
the landing and in cruise. All the conversions that I have done (several but
I do not have the number) have been done in accordance with the Alon
installation which did not have the spring ( William R. Bayne wrote: "I don't
personally know if it was installed on the F-1A or Alons. Perhaps owners
can help us out here") and with the 20 degrees of up travel available,
landing at slower speeds as well as limited trim changes required in cruise
made
it a desirable change.
