Lorn: I know how you feel.I thought I needed a saddle and a pair of
spurs to( ride)fly my 360.It was unique<to say the least<to land on a
gusty turbulant runaway:).It is true, and I believe a factory service
letter,to move the elevator bellcrank up to the already existing upper
bolt hole.This does help with some of the sensitivity,However the the
one change in my 360 that did the most for handling was the addition of
the long engine mount.Move that CG forward.It was alot of work but well
worth the effort.I don't have an autopilot,but I do have Dick Reichels
geared trim system and must say it is a breeze to trim for any flight
condition.

           On another subject,I wittnessed the first test run up of a
Porche powered ES today.It was smoooooth as a turbo prop.Congratulations
BIG BOB.
