A friend of mine had the same problem with his electric pitch trim.  He 
enlarged the trim tab and got into flutter, so be careful about balance 
if you go that route.  I have Dick Reichel's mechanical pitch trim 
wheel, which attaches to the original Lancair system with heavier 
springs and larger throw.  Works perfectly and I can trim throughout all 
speed and cg ranges.  I highly recommend that simple, reliable system.
