REFLECTOR: ROLL TRIM

[Jim Sower]

Mine is the stock capstan-string system that doesn't work for s**t. If I 
need a little LWD, I roll left and give the trim a couple of licks and 
roll level. Have to do that a time or two per flight because I keep 
forgetting to put belt dressing on the capstans.
It's NOT important ... to me ... Jim S.
