REFLECTOR: Elevator Trimming

[Ron Brown]

Well, that certainly doesn't sound right.  I have a 173 Elite RG.  I think 
you may have the XL torque tubes?

My tubes ended just outside of my STD fuselage.  I cut my elevators with a 
bit of taper toward the fuselage ensuring that they don't hit the fuselage 
in the up position.
