My impression that the elevator applied varying levels of downward
force to balance the plane about the center of lift. I am not aware
that the elevator could even produce _upward_ force on the tail.
If the elevator couldn't generate an _upward_ force, then you couldn't
pick up the tail on an taildragger, right? Let me assure you, you can pick
up the tail on a taildragger.
I agree 100% that the elevator can generate an upward force and pushing the
stick forward in a tricycle plane to put weight on the nose is NOT a good
idea in general. I would think it would be very easy to over do it.
