I put a "to" where I should have put an "and". So let me rephrase that and say that I'm going to move the CG aft some (by moving the backup battery toward the tail, and maybe adding a few pounds of lead to the tail spring mount) and THEN I might adjust the horizontal stab. Right now I never need to trim the plane down, it's always in the up direction, so I need to do something to get the nose up anyway. Moving the CG aft some may do it, but if not, changing the horizontal stab incidence will definitely do it. I have a pretty big range of movement back there, but I don't think I'll need much. Until I do that, my top speed will not be optimal. Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama see KR2S project N56ML at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford email to N56ML "at" hiwaay.net
