Initially HS load would change from download to upload. Upload intensity would increase as fuselage crack widened.
It is interesting to note the jackscrew is still in the tail, it is visible in the photos several pages back, but no sign at all of any HS pieces still on tail.
seeing that the HS compartment is missing and the bit at te top under the TP is bent upwards I can't see that the screw jack is present, could you please identify post(s) where it can be seen. Ta
