After 3 1/2 years, I'm finally starting to put all the bits and pieces together. Although the plans say the elevator should be set for 30 deg. up and down, there is nothing on the trim tab setting. My tab will move approx. 46 degrees, so I was thinking (without knowing) that I would want more authority for nose up than for nose down. Nose down will be at a higher speed so will not need as much trim as nose up at slower (see landing) speeds. I can set the tab just about anywhere with the set screw, so maybe 30 degrees for nose up and 16 deg. for nose down? I would think I would want as much up tab as possible (especially after the bailout in the AS2) but would not want so much that the tab would stall at full deflection.
Any ideas are welcome. Garry
