I have heard that Roger recommends bending the bent flange of the

elevator down to remove the upsweep of the trailing edge. What say you

CH701 builders who are flying?

That is what I did with mine per Rogers suggestion. Don't know why they  don't correct that in the dwgs.

I took the bend out on my 701 elevator.  On my first flight last  August, I ran out of out of NOSE UP elevator trim where the trim tab was in  the full down position and I still had to hold back stick pressure to hold the  nose up.  Posing this problem on the list resulted in several responses  suggesting taking the TE bend out to a neutral position.  It worked like a  charm.  I now have the trim range to trim off all stick pressures  at all airspeeds.

 I bent the elevator TE by cutting a slot in the edge of a long 2 X 4,  placing the TE in the 2 X 4 slot and rotated downward.

 Hope this helps,
