David for what it's worth the subject of pitch spring effect came up a couple of years ago. I had complained that when the engine quit there is a scramble to adjust the trim to hold the nose up. The

Dave As a matter of interest, an old method of achieving trim was to 'dope' a length of string along the airfoil trailing edge, varying the length to achieve the desired effect. Do you think that

Michel, Yes. There is no undercamber on the GU elevator so the aero forces involved are not large. However, the system does rely on the up-spring to hold the trailing edge of the elevetor down in
