REFLECTOR: amount of trim

[Lou Stedman]

Thanks Gary. Mine is a little different. When I am solo, I don't have enough down trim. I did a new W&B and found out I need thirty pounds of ballast in the nose when solo. That helps a lot with needed down trim but I can't help but think I need some down trim. What model are you flying?

  I have much more up then down trim. In my case I never need any down trim even flying solo, always some up trim required.

    I have looked through my manual but do not find information on how much up and down trim I am suppose to have. It does say that the elevator should have 24-26 degrees of down and 20 degrees of up. But it does not mention anything about trim. Can someone shed some light on this? I have lots of up trim but almost no down trim.
