REFLECTOR: Elevator Trimming

[Al Gietzen]

Larry;

I have the offset torque tubes, and the elevator trimmed close to the
fuselage, as seen in the attached photo (sorry, best one I could find right
now). You'll need some clearance there, as I recall, the least clearance is
when the elevator is fully down.

 It is the SE, so you must have the TT for the XL.

Hope this helps,

Al

Well- The "most recent" builder's manual (Web site) says  "measure 20 1/2 
inches from the center hinge and cut the elevator square".
Remembeing that I have the 173 FGE (ie' big wings/canard-little fuselage) 
that would leave about 4" on either side of the fuselage between fuselage 
side and the elevator. This does not seem correct (although it matches the 
offset torque tubes that I have).

Any other 173's (now SE-LW) can tell me if this is correct? Is there a 
shorter set of Torque tubes available?
