I'm the one who proposed putting a trim flap on the elevator controlled
by a servo - instead of the current configuration. I nixed that idea
after getting a lot of negative feedback. I then found out about the
Strong Pitch System here on the Reflector.
I just got mine today. It is slick. I truly believe this should be
made a regular part of the Velocity kit.
In addition to ordering the Velocity configuration ... I also bought the
other Cozy configuration offered on the Reflector by Dane. I plan on
using that servo for the roll trim. I hate the "string and spring"
set-up. I was going to use a Lancair trim servo out on the aileron with
a trim flap but again was talked out of it. After much research I was
told it would cause a "heavy aileron" and problems counter-weighting it
at the wing tip.
I'll keep you informed on my progress!
