Hi Smilin Ed

You are far too gracious. I won't belabor this, and won't stay, but this needs to be writtern.

Since the few days after the crash, a few PILOTS have noted the problem w/trim in Alternate Law.

Each time the THS moves, The airframe starts behaving like a different a/c. One reason I think the PILOT had problems with PITCH is at least because this ship did not want to lower her nose. Besides, when he did attempt it, He needed WAY MORE ND than he was comfortable with. WHY? because, as DOZY WANNABE has said... "The THS COMPENSATES for the elevator position". Go look up compensate, and think about if you would like to have a massive set of wings ON THE TAIL, "taking away" your elevators..... AUTOMATICALLY, and without any prompt on the Flight Deck.......
