I understand that the reason for going to a -0.6 degree position on the HS on our ES's was to provide more control in the landing phase. This was done because of the heavier nose wi/ the IO-55x engine and a three blade metal prop.

Anyone else hear that?

A bad scenario is that you have the horizontal so far "off" (leading edge
up) that you run out of up elevator movement in the flare.  The other bad
scenario is that the horizontal is so far "off" (leading edge down) that you
need "lots" of down elevator at high speeds (added drag).
