Hi Guys
I noticed the bungy spring on the elevator that connects to the trim screw setup via a cable, was streched. The elevator now droops while parked. I checked the travel and I have 22 degrees elevator down travel, where as the TCDS state 15 +- 2 degrees. To be clear this is a nose down attitude. I don't see any mechanism of adjusting the trim. This is on a Smith kit PA-18 replica. To the best of my knowledge it's the same as certified setups. Anyone know how to adjust the down travel to stop at 15 degrees?
Thank you
Ron
