Bill,
You, Scott & I all have the Rachel trim system and short tails. From the photos that you and Scott sent me, it appears that you have about 12" from the front to the back of your springs. Scott has 9.125" and I have 7". You seem to have the best trim range, scott the next best and me the worst. I need about 80 kts to get the nose off the ground.
I'm beginning to see what seems to be the problem. I need to increase my spring range. I'll let the list know what happens when I am done.

Chris & Scott,
We have such an arrangement, long mount, small tail. Works fine for us. I have never run out of elevator authority in either direction. I am one of those who practices stalls and have never had a problem with the recovery. In the other direction, we use soft field techniques when operating off grass which we do often. We are able to get the nosewheel off the ground at about 40 kts on takeoff.
