I tried to respond to your direct inquiry but the e-mail bounced. Perhaps a typo? ------------------------------------ Comments/Questions: I am building an RV 6 with elevator trim in the 2 stick grips. I have the coolie hat supplied by Van's and the 8A Mac servo but did not buy the relay deck as i didnt know i would need it. Can i use your drawing "Pitch trim" 8-20-00 and use four relays, one set(2) per coolie hat or can i simply wire the coolie hats in parallel. What would happen if one pilot would push down and the other one up on the coolie hat? What 12 volt relay can i buy that would not vibrate in flight and accidently activate the trim motor? Do you think i need a speed control for the elevator? You can wire the switches in parallel. Simultaneous conflicting commands will result in the motor simply stopping. No smoke, no popped fuses, etc. Bob . . . ----------------------------------------- ( Experience and common sense cannot be ) ( replaced with policy and procedures. ) ( R. L.
