Pietenpol-List: A couple of elevator geometry questions.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: A couple of elevator geometry questions.I've looked for these numbers but haven't found them. What are the maximum deflection angles up and down for the elevators. I seem to remember 22 degrees for down but am not sure of this, and don't know the up value.Also, my top elevator cable rubs the stabilizer leading edge the entire travel of the elevator. I know some rub is normal - is this excessive? I plan on installing nylon rub strips after the stabilizer is covered.Matt Paxton________________________________________________________________________________
