    Default Re: Model IV needed mods?

    I did some extensive modifications to the tail on my Classic IV-1200. It was an experiment to gain authority at lower speeds of the elevator and rudder. Thus far I have been happy with the mods and the handling compared to my IV-1050 I had previously.

    I did add an electric elevator trim tab. IMO this is a good modification to make.

    The rest of these are not necessary to do, but I wanted to do some experimenting and make the plane my own...

    This is a good before and after of the elevator. Also shown is the trim tab. If I could do it again, I'd make the tab larger.
