| Subject: | Pitch trim testing |
My MAC servo pitch motor in my Lancair ran away and stuck at its
limit. Has the new system been tested at full limits for adequate
aircraft control-ability in the landing configuration?

Rusty,
I have had the trim full lock down and full lock up, and other than having
heavy control pressures the aircraft was controllable....

Hi Nick,
It would be great if you could post a picture of the new trim as it
exists on the elevator.
Thanks................Bill, Tucson, Kit #49.

It seems to me the Lightning could give this record a run for it's money
The ink wasn't even dry on the National Aeronautic Association's newest
category for aviation records before a Husky pilot in Indiana took off
to try for the top spot. The new category, "Aeroplane Efficiency,"
officially went on the books March 1, and that same day, Kris Maynard
departed Sheridan, Ind., in hot pursuit. Hot pursuit may be overstating
it though, since Maynard said his speed over the 654-nm course averaged
about 65 knots. His fuel efficiency worked out to an impressive 23.43
miles per gallon (13.71 km/kg), by Maynard's so-far-unofficial
calculations. He said he was thrilled with his results and hoped his
attempt would encourage others to enter the competition. "This flight
exceeded my expectations by more than 1 km/kg," he said. "I am fully
convinced that there is no other production aircraft in the world today
that can achieve such efficiency. When my record falls -- and I know it
will -- it will be to an Experimental." That sounds like a challenge

Yeah, I think that records would be an easy break.
