REFLECTOR: old style elevator trim spring

[Gary Stull]

That was me that made a stainless steel spring. It took some experimentation to get the correct tension. I simply added multiple layers of metal strips until I got the correct feel. It's worked well for about 350 hrs.

  I started loading up the front seat yesterday and found I need more elevator trim. I've got the straight fiberglass spring. I remember a few years ago one of the flyers said he made his out of stainless steel and it was working great. If he's still online, do I make it the same size as the fiberglass spring, or narrower?
