I thought about installing a bungee cord.

the trim= is not enough. So I need to pull with 0.5kg to keep the plane in a stable = descent.

Maybe the spring trim is the better solution beca= use when you change flap position while landing you also have to adjust the= trim tab on elev.
=0A
As I have a throttle quadrant and a glove b= ox there is nearly no room for the spring trim. Maybe someone has a picture= from a spring trim installed
