I have questions.  The first is concerning flight characteristics with the
two different size stabilizers.  My kit has the original (small)
stabilizer.  The stabilizer is complete but not installed.  I had decided
to use it and not spend the time or money for the larger stabilizer.  Does
the “trim wheel” described by Jen Jensen make flight more stable. OR Do you
also need the wing leveler autopilot described by Dan Schaefer?

Where can I purchase or get some plans for the Trim Wheel submitted by Jen
Jensen?

Also, there has been some discussion about longer motor mounts to shift the
CG forward.  Does this help with both sizes of stabilizers or have anything
to do with the size of the stabilizer?  I have purchased an engine from
Crossflow Aero (Subaru) and have the opportunity to move the engine forward
or aft at this time if it would be helpful.  Bobby
