Tnx for the posting. Will give group who reads a feel for the Express.

The pitch down with full rudder deflection during flight test I never
ran into in any airplane I flew in my thousands of hours. Would be
kind of scary if at low altitude where you could not trade altitude to
regain air speed and control.

You could get into that condition in a large angle slip and crash on
final ( I didn't see if the new larger tail assy fully cured the
blanking problem.

Didn't say in paper. Not enough in pictures for me to make a wild guess.

Maybe someone else on Group knows and will post? Paper said it was
featured in the 'Contact' Magazine and they should know.
