Elevator hands off movement

Hi all,

For simulation purposes I have a question regarding elevators.

If you enter a longitudal sinus pattern in pitch and let go of the yoke, the
aircraft will stabilize after some time (periods).

- I'm wondering, will the elevator (hands off yoke) MOVE somewhat with
this motion due to the forces acting upon it?
- Or, will the elevator stay dead centered throughout the period.

I guess this might vary from acf to acf, so I'd be interested in
information on any types.

Cheers,

XPM
