Thanks Scott,
Now at least I know I did it right!.
It's a real shame to put all that Micro on a surface that otherwise should
have only needed fine tuning. I guess there was too much weight on the
elevators when they got put together and they got squeezed more than they
should have.
Yes that really pisses me off. I did four weeks of build shop and tried to
to do everything myself, but things just moved faster than I could keep up
with.
Once I got her home and took a close look at some of the BID's that the
helpers did, I decided to grind most of them out and re do them to my
standards.
You live and some of us learn.

Any time the airflow sees a step down there is turbulence, loss of attachment, an increase in drag and, perhaps, some loss of control surface authority. In the small operating range about cruise speed, the control surface should be at least at the same level as the attached flying surface or even a bit larger as the air can follow a minor curved elevation (no pun here) in the surface over which it is flowing.
