| Subject: | Asymmetrical elevator trim - why? |
I was just hooking up my trim hardware and I'm puzzled why the asymmetrical setup?
I had found a discussion about this in the archives (twisted tail discussion and
all), but I would still like to find out how this asymmetrical setup works,
and why they designed it that way?
Could anyone provide us with an explanation?
Regards,
Lenny

| Subject: | Asymmetrical elevator trim - why? |
Lenny,
Original design had one of the trim tabs hooked in to the flap system to
compensate for the nose down tendency as flaps are applied (noticeable
with full flaps). Very early they (Van's) decided that it wasn't a big
deal and just used both flaps for the regular trim system. The plane
didn't really need any more nose down trim but really needed some help
with nose up trim with forward CG during landings.
Looks pretty strange but works fine.

| Subject: | Re: TruTrak Torque Enhancer Check |
Update: TruTrak is overnighting out a new Torque Enhancer. Person I talked to
said he saw this on some early torque enhancers but not recently.
Another reminder - check the security of the set screws that attach the cable to
the aluminum bar! If you have a problem it is NOT repairable by you due to
the required tension on the cable.

G'day all,
Need to order some final bits - what have you guys typically been using
to connect the solid (pipe) pitot line to the flexible (tube) line at
the wing root??
Cheers,

I have used some black fuel line just big enough to be a fairly tight
fit over each. I use a piece about 3-4 inches long and push both
tubes into it until they touch in the middle. Then I use either
safety wire doubled around it over each tube or a small hose clamp to
hold it in place. I don't remember where I got that idea, but it
works very well and is easy to do.

| Subject: | Rear Seat Belt Anchors & cables |
I'm wrapping up tailcone plumbing stuff before closing out the access hole behind
the cabin top. The rear seat belt anchor plates don't yet have the cables installed
and I haven't been able to find the directions.
Does anyone know offhand the chapter/page where this can be found? It would make
much more sense to have done this BEFORE attaching the tailcone as it sucks
crawling around back there!
Cheers,

I used the clear plastic tube that Aircraft Spruce sells as "pitot tubing".
This link shows a picture of the tubing I used.

You then can order many different ends here to connect:

If you terminate the aluminum tube in a flare-to-1/8NPT, you can use this
barb adapter from McMaster-Carr: 5116K301
I use two wraps of .020 safety wire around the nylon tube at the barb.
Seems to be holding well so far.
