    Has there been any tubing repair on the fuselage? I had a Super Cub that had never been cut on that I gad to grind the stop tube your elevator horn is resting against for the same issue.

    Unrelated I notice that you have extra washers on your jackscrew to pulley install.

    The fuselage has had repairs done, but it is still very straight and everything is in line. I had the same first thought. I don't think the tail angle could have changed much if any but maybe that is the only explanation beyond it was just wrong from the factory.

    I am measuring about 8.5 Degrees currently.

    I had to grind that down elevator stop on Pacer to get the required down elevator.

    About half way thru that down stop tube. Took me awhile with a burr in an air powered die grinder. I think he had less than the 11” you’ve got. He couldn’t get the nose down far enough to do what he wanted to do.
