I can't find a spec for elevator trim travel. Does any know or have a suggestion for the max deflection on the -4? I am running out of down trim when loaded up and indicating more than 160 MPH.
Sid, when I built my RV-4 (180hp) after first flight I had to shim the stabilizer at the forward spar. In my case 1/8 inch did it. When I built my Rocket I shimed to 3/16, and that is almost enough.
