During the life of an airplane especially one with several owners like yours, stuff get added and removed and new weight and balance calc. are frequently overlooked. Also Check to see if you have the trim assist kit installed ( it is basically a heafty spring located right behind the seat and can be seen in a photo under a search on this site of the trim assist kit option) . Reading through the trim assist threads will explain its function. Keep us posted how you make out. Bruce N199CL
