     Two things stand out at me in your last post to the list.  The
Factory 360 is a Big tail version and will not be the same as the small
tail.  I know they will tell you it is.  If that were the case then why
the Big tail?  The other thing is the statement that you have an
electrically controlled elevator trim tab.  I beleive your only problem
is the trim tab.  IMHO I cannot imagine your trim tab having enough
authority to trim off the pitch down moment created by the flaps.  As I
and others have said, it takes alot of back pressure to trim for landing
with full or even partial flaps.  If you want a good comparision I would
get a ride in a samll tail 320/360 with a mechanical trim system.  I think
you will be surprised at the difference.
