trim needed, just use flaperons.  I'm thinking a simple bungee pulling elev.

Tube either way with a small rope and a sailboat clam cleat is the simplest.

Any input appreciated.


	


         I like my manual trim. It's easy and it works. Lowell's done 

testing and found the elevator trim tab to offer much less drag than 

trimming with the flaperons. I like it because it has a lot more 

range than the flaperons and works when you use the flaperons as 

flaps. (Obviously if you use the flaperons as flaps, you can't use 

them for trim.)
