Upgraded the trim on my Northwing GT5 to work in both directions. Great support from Larry Mednick and Kamron @ Northwing. Thanks to Leo and Henry for the help making the alteration.

    That is really cool Ken. I'm hoping that I can get my hang bracket done with the mod you guys fitted. That is a great setup. Looking forward to hearing about how it flys. Don't expect it will be any huge leap but it's always good to have an experienced test pilot. :)

    Had it out for a bit today, really nice handling throughout the speed range. Cruises easily at 60 on the slow setting, minimum controllable feels like about 50. Getting a 9:1 glide ratio at idle.  Stall is 42 mph. Higher speed cruises in the upper 70s and a little bar in will take it to VNE easily.

    Glad to hear that, you nailed it !!

    Sounds great Ken, thanks for the flight report. I'll be hitting Kamron up for the mod this summer. I don't have electric trim but I need more spread in my downtubes. Sweet mod!!
