Europa-List: Trailing edge elevator deflection issue

Hello intrepid flyers,

An inspection recently showed that the trailing edge deflection on my Europa XS
was not to spec. We adjusted the rod-ends at the end of the pitch tube but we
only managed to get 12 deg up and 3 deg down (total of 15 deg overall 
deflection).
Any further adjustments would either provide an increase in the up direction
with a corresponding reduction in the down direction - maintaining the 15
degree overall deflection.

Mass balance weight does not touch its limits and the anti-servo T-Bar is free
and does not hit the fusalage.

Can some wise builder advise the method used to increase the full deflection 
range
- Id like to get about 16 to 18 degrees if possible.

Many thanks to all

Tony
