Subject: Re: Glasair-List: Trimbox deadband problem

EEA tech Joe Gautheir felt the factory trim tension was way to taunt and  
relaxed my trim wire springs. I have been flying my Glasair that way for  
nineteen trouble free years.

We were  having a little "deadband" in our Glasair elevator trim system, 
where you'd  roll the trim wheel an eighth turn with no effect on the trim. 

I made  a little video showing the problem and the solution. (After passing 
this  around, another builder reported he had a similar problem, but in his 
case,  the roll pin holes themselves elongated.)

Please see  http://members.cox.net/mppalmer and click in the "video of 
trimbox deadband  problem." It's a 30 second WMV file.

Hope this helps,

Mike  Palmer  <><
