REFLECTOR: TRIM TRAVEL

[John Dibble]

Perhaps we should specify which model we're talking about.  I understand
that the XLs tend to be nose heavy and therefore your comment about not
needing much down pitch trim sounds good.  My SRGE is nose light when I
fly solo and I need a lot of nose down pitch to descend at 175 kn TAS.
I run out of down pitch trim above 160 kn IAS.
