Re-confirming elevator deflections and very good I did this. I did this years ago but re-tested anyway and found that the upholstery was limiting the elevator authority by 10 degrees which would NOT have been good. Needless to say, I removed the offending upholstery. Proper up angle is 39 degrees. 180-140.8 = 39.2 degrees.
