I had the same problem with the H Stab. I
used foam covered with one bid of glass. I think this was lighter than filler.
Super Fill is a very light filler as well for fine work. You will have more
elevator authority after your fix.

Question
My Elevators are bowed concave in my 360. Upper side more, lower side
less. (about 5mm)
Flying since 70 hours now but never felt a difference.
I did not want to spread much filler on the skin, as you add a lot of
needless weight.
You also have to add a lot of counterbalance weights.... So save
weight where you can!!
The leading edge of the elevaters should be flush with the horizontal
skin, so the airflow stays laminar when it
Same with ailerons: keep the skins flush or thicker.
I think the Legacy horizontal are the same as the 360 MKII
Do I need to fill in the concave shape to
create a straight Elevator surface or just prime and sand what I have?
