There is an article by Paul Dye on page 63 of the May 2011 issue of Kitplanes Magazine
about using a Firgelli PQ12 linear actuator for aileron trim on an RV-3.
The data sheet for this actuator is located here:
http://www.firgelli.com/pdf/PQ12_datasheet.pdf
It can be purchased here:
http://store.firgelli.com/pq12-linear-actuato12.html
It seems that it is available with either limit switches or a feedback pot but
not both. Although the limit switch model does have an output that will light
an LED when the limits are reached. Weight of the actuator is 15 grams.

> Hi Joe; I'm using the Figelli L12-30-210-12-S actuator for the roll trim on my Cozy. Have not installed it yet, but it looks like it will do the job just fine although it looks a bit bigger than the one Paul used. It's small enough to mount in the wing root on my plane.http://www.firgelli.com/pdf/L12_datasheet.pdf

I have a visit scheduled for tomorrow at the Firgelli facility. I have
developed a rudder trim system using one of their servos. I'm going to take
some pics and interview the principal of the company, with the aim of
productizing their devices for our market. I've learned a few things along
the way that may be useful for them.
Thanks

| Subject: | Faston connector for Ford-style regulator? |
I've got the Ford-style regulator that Cessna and others used for many
years. The four Faston-style connectors enter through a common plug
body, and are retained in that body by a small clip on the bottom of the
Faston.
Where do I buy that style of Faston connector, with the small clip?
I've replaced two, now, as wires have worn, etc. with standard Fastons,
but then, the wires come loose when the regulator is unplugged (which is
necessary to remove my intercooler plumbing, a long story...)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Paul

I've been installing these regulators with individual
.25" fast-ons on wires.
Individual fast-ons with the retainer barb are pretty
hard to come by in small quantities. If you wanted a
reel of 10,000 . . .
The auto-parts stores will sell you a replacement
connector module. These tend to be populated with
fast-on females that are un-plated brass of unknown
pedigree. The AMP PIDG fast-ons are pretty hard
and hold their grip well over time.
The replacement connector populated with terminals
will have pendant wires that need to be spliced into
your ship's harness. But if you have your heart set
on using this connector, here is one of many sources:
http://terminalsupplyco.com/Store/Product.aspx?pc=170
I recollection serves me well, B&C used to stock these
terminals for use in housings that mate with the rear
connector on their alternators. You might be able to
get a small quantity of terminals from them.
