The later models required the aerodynamic trim. Partly, I've heard, that's to allow you to fly home (however sloppily) with a broken elevator cable. I've practiced it a couple of times. Wouldn't want to land on a short runway. Bet I could do it on a big one, though. -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill. N3802H
