| Subject: | Canopy Lock/ Tail Trim |
Hey guys,Has anyone had a problem with their canopy lock system? Went to fl
y yesterday and the canopy warning light wouldn't go off when I locked the
canopy. Naturally, the canopy seal inflate won't inflate either. Verified t
he canopy locks are closed and locked and the handle is full forward and ro
tated up into the correct locked position. I assume there is some sort of m
icro switch that senses the handle position but couldn't find anything in t
he service manual or the parts book on it. There's a small metal box on the
forward end of the locking handle shaft with three or four wires going int
o it. I assume this is the micro switch but the metal box looks to be compl
etely sealed. =C2-Could someone enlighten me and/or does someone have a s
chematic before I start tearing into this blindly ?
Also, after verifying the canopy was locked, I went ahead and flew and was
doing touch and goes and during one of the touch and goes the tail failed t
o re-trim. When I brought the flaps up after departure the nose went abrupt
ly up. Brought the gear back down and flaps back to 15 and this relieved th
e stick pressure enough so I could keep level and I started back to homebas
e 15 miles away. While enroute, the tail finally retrimed. When I got back
on the ground the tail trim seemed to be be working again as verified by th
e tail trim light illuminating. There was a previous post about microswitch
es in the wing that signal the tail the flap position. Would someone be so
kind as to point me in the general direction/location of the microswitches
in the wing? May just need to be cleaned.
Thanks for any info you can supply.

Thanks Bob. Yes, that's the metal box I referred to. It looks to be sealed
but I haven't removed the lock handle assy yet to see if there is an access
on the back side.
