If it flexes too much your hinges will bind and I've never heard of that happening on the horizontal stab. I did have one KR pilot tell me years ago that he thought his ailerons bound up on a high speed, high G turn. He released some back pressure, rolled level and then continued his pull up. I'd think you could overcome any binding of foam/glass layup with stick pressure if your life was depending on it. Also, any flexing in the horizontal stab would probably be mirrored in the elevator, thus eliminating a bind condition. That's my opinion and it worth every cent you paid for it. :-) Larry Flesner
