    Default Trim adjustment on horizonal stabilizer

    HI ,I have been searching old threads for infro on the 3 position adjustment holes at the front of horizonal stablizer and have found a lot of contradicting answers can some one confirm that in order to get the most nose up trim the leading edge adjustment should be in the lowest hole? This is on a model 111 with a 912 ul engine. I do not have any elevator trim and will and have been researching some of the many threads on my options, but for now this is the 1st and easiest step to lessen the need to hold pressure on stick while in cruise speed. Thanks Greg.

    Use the flaps for pitch trim on model 3.

    If you have the horizontal stabilizer bolted to the lowest hole, that should cause the nose to go higher in flight. JImChuk
