Hi! Dave .
I seem to remember neutral is in line with the fuselage fairings, otherwise
you won't be flying very effeciently !!!!!

A question,

If you have a 6 degree travel at full deflection and 4 degrees is required,
why would that be a problem? I would think that less that 4 degrees would be
a problem, not more. One problem I have dealt with is the definition of the
neutral point of the elevator. I have the required travel up and down, but
it really hinges (no pun intended!) on where you make that point of zero
degrees. One would hope to never actually hit that limit of travel unless in
an emergency.

Just wondering out loud.
