REFLECTOR: PITCH TRIM, up or down

[Scott Derrick]

I think we should all use the established method to describe pitch trim 
which is what it does to the primary pitch control.

Trim Down, puts the nose down and/or increases airspeed

Trim Up, puts the nose up and/or reduces airspeed.

The direction of elevator travel is opposite the direction of trim in a 
canard airplane. Somewhat confusing but,  we should be used to backasswards 
terminology on our canards by now!
