You might be right about the Forneys, Harry.  I don't really know.  I have
a
single fork C model that we converted to a D (no, folks, it's not called a

that is a whole different airplane) with the 9 degree elevator up travel,
and I
have no problem getting my nose (I mean the airplane's nose) high enough
when
landing.
