REFLECTOR: Roll trim mod suggestions

[Jorge Bujanda]

It wasn't me.  It never crossed my mind to modify the factory setup so I
don't have any ideas to offer.

Also, someone asked about an aerodynamic trim.

Jorge Bujanda was working on such a beast, if I recall.  Does anyone know
how that worked out?

Thanks for the replies!

I thought about a limiting cable that would prevent the motor from rotating.
But making sure it was strong enough and making sure it didn't cause a
problem in "slack" mode was problematic. 

The clutch is an interesting approach. But the cost and space made that a
non-starter. 

So I've removed the parts and ordered the smallest timing pulley I could
find with a .25" bore.  I'll open it to 5/16" and try that. The nice thing
about the timing belt is that you can control how much slippage is allowed
with spring tension. 

Thanks again,
Don
