Piper Arrow Stabilator

[zman7887]

Pitching up works just fine, but when pitching down, the yoke moves correctly, but the stabilator only moves a little and then stops. if there is a fix or this is intentional, that would be great to know.

The real-world aircraft does have a difference in elevator deflection angles on each side of neutral (+16 degrees and -8 degrees off the top of my head), so it is expected behaviour to see the difference in movement range.

However, from my discussions with our flight model developer, the difference in elevator deflection angle on either side of neutral is something MSFS doesn't handle all too well, so the small deflection angle is necessary in order to preserve the handling qualities of the aircraft.

Essentially, even with that small deflection angle that you are seeing in the latest build, the aircraft should have a similar level of effectiveness as if it had the larger deflection angle.

Hope that helps.
