ACCORDING TO THE PLT, THE NOSE OF THE ACFT FELT HEAVY JUST BEFORE LIFT-OFF & WHEN HE BECAME AIRBORNE. HE FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TAIL OF THE ACFT & THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN FULL ELEVATOR RESPONSE, SO HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. THE ACFT ROLLED 300 TO 400 FT AFTER LANDING NOSE LOW. THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO MAINTAIN FULL UP ELEVATOR & USED MODERATE BRAKING.
