But I think that what RW is talking about is his vertical pivot for side to side steering, not his horizontal for up and down trim.
(Oh, and BTW...the Steersman nuts are simply fantastic... Put one on and you'll never again have to worry about replacing your steering cable due to a lack of lubrication).

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
