That video showed what looked like an extremely sudden pitch down... awful.
I've read online about the Gnat's hydraulics - but trying to understand.
Is it prone to sudden pitch departures because of it's short length?
Am I correct in assuming that the gearing linkage to the tailplane allows for c of g to be moved forward or aft to compensate?
Does it have an all moving tailplane, or elevators?

EDIT: found a T1 photo - elevators.
