REFLECTOR: Elevator Trim Assembly

[John Dibble]

The issue is not having enough down trim (elevator up) at cruise.  IMO
the problem is specific to the standard Vs, but maybe someone with an XL
can comment.  I would make the decision based on comments from flying
XLs, probably fly first.  Reversing the sparrow strainer will greatly
increase the trim range.
