REFLECTOR: Not enough Trim authority

[Douglas Holub]

I've got an IOX-360, but your trim sounds just like mine. With two people in 
the front I don't have enough up trim to land, and with just me in the front 
I don't have enough down trim when I'm flying faster than 160 kts. When I 
take the canard off for the condition inspection in February I'll beef up 
the factory trim spring. The problem with that, though, is that the trim 
will be even touchier with a stiffer spring. Has anybody ever installed two 
sparrow strainers? Or maybe I could just double the size of the airfoil on 
the one I've got.
