    I still have my stock elevator if anyone is interested in purchasing it, It worked fine but as I mentioned I wouldn't go back to it after the 7 elevator that I now fly, it does make significant difference on slow flight response if i remember it is about 4" deeper than the stock. Truly gives you the response you need for very slow approach landing and short field operations.

    The Current Supersport has the electric jackscrew on the HS.

    Some of the KF 7's have manual trim tabs on the elevator.......controlled by a lever in the console. The HS is fixed with a rod in place of the jackscrew.

    Attached photo is a Kitfox 7....manual trim.
