Looking at those pics the width of the elevator seems small.
I'm only familiar with PA28, C152 with large elevator and rudder and Tramahawk.
If an aircraft is spinning and then recovery, is one elevator completely blanked off?
Is there enough elevator authority to un-stall the wings.
Perhaps not given that some folks say stick all the way forward.
Bit critical.
Would be interested to know if elevator forces are light on this type.
(Only ever had a go in one at Barkston Heath, what a joke of a day, say no more).
