Graham is this a TriQ or is it something different and hence the reversed designation?

Re: Reflexor and autopilot
Well, that's certainly something to chew on.
I have actually skimmed this before, but obviously didn't get enough out of it to understand that flying with what seem like "dirty" wings can actually

Re: Reflexor and autopilot
I'm getting a little confused here. I swear I'm reading conflicting info.
When you reflex up, the trailing edge of the ailerons point up, correct?
This produces a nose up tendency and is used on

Re: Reflexor and autopilot
So with these reports, I'm not sure if I would connect the the reflexor to the autopilot system. But an electric trim still sounds like a viable idea, with a joystick utilizing some buttons for trim

The Reflexor does not have to be used, it just refines the controls. It does however add a couple knots if

Re: Reflexor and autopilot
I see the same phenomenon as Mike reports. This is the result of minimizing the overall induced drag for both wings while still providing the necessary lift for level flight.
At high cruise at

Re: Reflexor and autopilot
This is very interesting. Does this suggest a change to the angle of incidence for one or both wings? Does it suggest a thinner airfoil? Maybe a C.G. shift?
Is there precedence for flying faster (when

Re: Reflexor and autopilot
I found a small throw linear actuator that drives .75" with 30 ft/lbs of force. Does not move or freespin if power is lost. I think it weights 12oz?

There are many systems for Reflexor. My control for it takes more pressure than I'd expect a servo to handle. I also don't see it as a good elevator control. For instance, in flight I like to
