I asked this very question of Vi Kapler. Vi stated that the elevator deflectionshould be at least 20 degrees down and 20 degrees up. He also stated that theelevator deflection should never exceed 30 degrees. I consider Vi one of themost knowledgeable experts with regard to the Aircamper.

Speaking hypothetically (based on geometry of the elevator horns and location relative to the pivot point), with 20 degrees of travel up and down the bellcrank connection point will travel 2-1/2" from stop to stop. I measured it on 41CC and I have closer to 3" total travel of the bellcrank.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags@hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: elevator control question

During the Broadhead Pietenpol Fly-in last summer Ken Perkins presented a fantasticdemonstration on his method for constructing elevator, aileron, and rudderhorns. He has also devised a method for removing the slack in the elevatorcables. One change that I made to my elevator horns was to lengthen the hornso that both cable connection points are in-line and of equal distance from thepivot point of the elevator hinge. Many Piet builders have also modified thelocation of the elevator bellcrank pivot. DanRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
