Ditto Scott.  I shortened the elevator bellcrank arm also.  The control 
harmony is still not perfect but it is certainly not scary.

My good friend and building mentor in California, Bob Sinclair, has the 
original tail.  Members of the EAA chapter out there pleaded with him to cut 
off the horizontal tail and replace it with the new, longer tail.  They showed 
up in his shop with a saw as the story goes.  They tried to convince him that 
he would certainly die if he flew that dangerous configuration, and none of 
them were Lancair builders/flyers.  But he kept the faith, loves his airplane 
and is quite healthy, and we know what a splendid job he did on that airplane.
