Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Cal, I think my down trim problem came from me not rebalanceing the plane after some of the mods and readjusting the linkages for the elevator last night. If I recall, I think I actually had a half degree of up in it and was too lazy to fix that. I redid the elevator linkage tonight while I was waiting for the epoxy on the hinge points to dry on the rudder. I think I have it as close as I can get it. I even recentered the servo arm. I didn't realize that it was actually off center in the subtrim menu. I am going to try to check the CG tomorrow evening.

On a side note. I just returned from my physical assessment for my SWAT team. I beat everyone. That was a huge accomplishment for me. I have never been able to come out on top before. This time I stomped 'em all. Thanks for listening to me gloat for a second. It just felt really good beating all the "hotheads" in the group.

Gotta get some rest now. I have to be up for work in 4.5 hours. Later.
