REFLECTOR: STRONG PITCH TRIM SYSTEM

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!
