REFLECTOR: Elevator Trim Spring

[Scott Derrick]

I've had the same problem.  In my Std RG. I've added various sized 
spacer blocks and I got it so I could cruise with just me in the front 
and maintain a 90 knot ILS, hands off. But faster than cruise, like a 
cruise power descent requires me to push on the stick.  I usually let 
George do that for me.

With my new engine and the anticipated increase in speed, I have ordered 
a Strong Pitch Trim. I'd also like to free up the space on the canard 
where the stock trim system mounts.
