That is, we can't trim out all of the nose down forces. My understanding is that this is normal on a Kitfox and there is no easy way (when fitted with the factory electric trim) to remove these forces. I can live with the very light back pressure required but he's clearly not happy. Is my assumption correct? Any comments appreciated.
