My LED indicator got toasted early on like Mark's, probably from radio frequency overload. I was going to replace it but decided not to bother as I never referenced it anyway. As I recall, I made my trim tab the size called for in the plans. I seldom see it deflected more than about 1/3 deflection after landing. My KR is stretched 24 inches so I may not need as much trim as some. I do get a noticeable pitch change when I deploy the speed brake full down and trim for that. I do not reset trim for takeoff but adjust trim on climb out or cruise as necessary just as in a Cessna or Piper. You will find that you will adjust trim by the feel in the stick, not by the lights. On your first flight just take off with neutral trim and precede from there. Stick forces in the KR are so light that it's not an issue. Larry Flesner
