<DIV>That was the whole problem here. I did level the key frame on the =
keybed. I
did level keys (I even did a few with the frame in the keybed to see if =
it
changed anything - it didn't). But when I install the stack to regulate, =
all of
a sudden the key leveling is way out of whack! My stack is bending the =
rear of
the keybed upward in the middle. I am in the midst of making appropriate =
shims
so that stack installation does not stress the flatness of the keyframe, =
and
installing additional rear keyframe hold-downs to work against the =
warped
keyframe.</DIV>
