REFLECTOR: Better roll trim

[Lou Stedman]

Great looking system Geoff. I have felt mine was ineffective for a long time now. The one concern I have is the effect of the heavier springs on the feel of aileron control. Does it stiffen up the control? If so I am not sure I want that.

Guys, 

I fixed my left roll tendency by improving my roll trim.  Basically, I replaced the rope/capstan with a timing belt/pulley system which allowed me to use beefier springs.  The roll trim now works very well.  Here's a pic of the roll trim motor fitted with the timing belt pulley.  More info on my website (http://thegerhardts.com/velocity/?p=547)
