Measure the AOA of the horizontal stabilizer. Compare that to factory book
specs. A high angle would serve to reduce elevator effectiveness on the up
side.

Bill,

Elevator up and down are to book specifications. Some time in the next  
couple of months, I will try to stop by when you are home and we can  
do some inspecting.

I would like to know why our planes fly so differently (if they really  
do).
