REFLECTOR:Pitch Trim Spring

[Jim Agnew]

I trimmed my first spring per the Velocity manual and found
it way too light.  I installed a full size spring and found
it was fine.  I start my TO roll with about 20 degrees of
UP elevator and by the time I level out the elevators are
about neutral from air load.  

Start with the full spring and trim after you fly it a
little.
