REFLECTOR: PITCH & ROLL TRIM

[Tom Martino]

They're the same ones used in the Lancair.  They have them.

Where are you getting your servos from?

	I like most everything about the Velocity design except for the
pitch and roll trim.  So I am finally doing something about it.  I am
installing tiny trim servos in the elevator and one aileron and
outfitting them with piano hinged trim tabs.  The wires will be run
inside the torque tubes.  I am happy to be eliminating that clunky
linear activator and the cumbersome fiberglass trim spring on the canard
and the string & spring roll trim.
	 
	Anyone else ever do this?
	 
	BTW - I have forgotten to post the paint designs I promised ...
but it's been difficult to get my graphic artist to send me the
digitals.  All I have now are large print-outs.  They should be coming
soon.
