I removed the factory elevator spring and installed the Strong system
but have not flown with it. I'd give the overall components a 'B'
rating, installation instructions and clear and complete. The relays
for the system which replace the clear bulky large original ones is a 1"
square black cube(solid state) and set up to handle dual inputs(sticks).
I did it because the original system didn't provide enough range of trim
, but I'm really pleased to free up the space in front of the radio stack.
I would think it would be really easy to install if your still building,
the retro fit wasn't to bad either. The re-wiring takes more time
than everything else.
