REFLECTOR: PITCH TRIM TRAVEL

[John Dibble]

When I'm flying solo, at cruise, I need all the elevator up I have.
It's about 3/4" which is less that what you could get on the ground when
there is no force of air on the elevator.  With 2 people it's about 3/8"
elevator up.  After landing solo, my elevator is about neutral or a
little up.
