Tom,
 
Next time your flying, play with this a little. I=20 did.
 
(I weigh 250, and I'm guessing Tom might weigh 150 = after a=20 steak dinner...)
 
At high speed cruise with the flaps fully up, = the=20 airplane would seemingly cruise a touch nose high and I'd see about 4 = extra=20 knots. Kind of squirrly there, but I was racing so I accepted it. Very = little=20 force or feel to the pitch. Putting any baggage exacerbated the=20 problem.
 
Now, after you've played with the feel in that = setting, take a=20 look at your elevator. Bring a small camera and take a photo of the = elevator=20 position.
 
After that, blip your flaps down for about half a = second.=20 Blip! on the flap button. Just get them to move down a degree, maybe two = at=20 most. It really changes the airplane a lot. It will "lift" the tail up a = bit=20 higher, and for me, took away most of the down elevator (lift the tail) = required=20 for level, fast flight. Take a picture of the elevator position there so = you can=20 reference it after the flight.
 
See of that does anything to the elevator position = in cruise.=20 It did for me.
