Gerry,

Further to Ferg's suggestion of extending the arm, I would respectfully
suggest you reinstal the main pitch push rod and check the amount of
clearance you have between it and the closest part of the Mass Balance
Weight (at full forward position).

If you have been able to achieve 13 degrees up elevator and 5 down, I
suspect you will have little room left to be able to extend the arm.  This
is certainly the case with mine anyway.

If it turns out your tailplane is a bit heavier than expected, maybe
substituting the front weight with one made of lead may do the trick.
