I'm writing a builder's roundup for Kitplanes magazine, and am looking for an installation that's flown for a minimum of 150 hours, and is currently flying. For the builders that we profile, the magazine will also be able to pay you $100 for the write-up. We would also need at least 2-3 good photos, including a close-up of the engine and an overall shot of the aircraft. Additional photos would be great, and all photos will be returned. If you have digital photos, it is very important that they be high-resolution, at least 300 dpi. I have a list of specific areas to address if you'd like to participate, but we can handle that off-line. Please feel free to contact me off-line at: cory @ lightspeededit.com (remove the spaces - my anti-spam protection) or reply offline to my list email address. I have a rather short deadline, so if you're able to contact me as soon as you're able, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much! best, Cory Emberson ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:54:21 PM PST US From: "Larry James" Subject: Rocket-List: elevator trim travels --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Larry James" Hello !! A few people have referred to the Rocket as a "trim aircraft" referring to the relatively large amounts of elevator trim necessary to account for the relatively large movement of CG with pax/no-pax/baggage/no-baggage. Can anyone give me some ideas on how much travel is useful and where neutral should really be and what amount of sensitivity are most useful in the elevator trim system ?? thanks !! Larry E.
