Jim,

My O-320 flies the same way as yours. One thing that you can do to get =
more up elevator is to use less flaps.

I usually land with 20=B0 to 30=B0 of flaps. Sometimes, with a full =
header and only myself flying, I find that I don't have enough elevator =
for landing. Raising the flaps by 10=B0 solves the problem. This =
knowledge comes from 1,850 hours on the plane and a few hard landings.

definitely sensitive and VERY easily over controlled...I think that is =
most of the problem. I also believe people don't tell all ie problems =
they have had for fear of others opinion. I think the tail is big =
enough. It seems from what I can gather the elevator can run out of =
pitch control on landing causing a hard nose landing. My answer is to =
not land on a full header tank. I don't really have that much time but I =
have solved my understanding/learning curve Hope this is of some =
