REFLECTOR: amount of trim

[Lou Stedman]

Thanks John. I always like to have friends drop by but. I am a bit confused, why would I reverse the sparrow? I am not knogleable on that subject.

  Lou, 
  I had the same problem as you.  Right now I'm at the new Dundee airport 17NK.  If you're interested I can stop by and you can fly with me and see that reversing the sparrow strainer has no effect on stability.

    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? Lou Stedman

       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. Lou Stedman
