There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages. Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-) I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites. If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution or, you can send a personal check to the following address: Matronics / Matt Dralle 581 Jeannie Way Livermore, CA 94550 Thank you!

I have and recommend electric roll trim. Fuel imbalance and passenger size do make a difference. I have the std pitch trim with with rocker and pitch trim enable button to prevent runaways. I have no problem with controlling pitch trim from landing to cruise speeds. One learns that a quick tap at 155 kts is all it takes. I am the "speed controller". I adjust it before takeoff, after 115 kt climb established, at level off, at descent and again on landing. During the climb to cruise to descent phases my TT AP tells me when to adjust trim. Yes I know I could add another box or two but I like it simple, inexpensive, light and easy to troubleshoot. My rudder trim consist of a technological break through and is patented. It is a small stick of balsa velcroed to the tunnel within easy reach once at cruise. I do not use my "rudder trim" on the 5-10 minute climb to altitude. My wife is most always with me and can hold right rudder if I need a break. On descent very little foot pressure needed either way. If a hard turn at cruise is needed then balsa is very easily broken. I am going to install an improved version consisting of phenolic friction blocks on both sides of tunnel with a 1 1/4" knob during condition insp. This will also be my gust lock instead of using the towbar with tabs, which works perfectly fine too by the way. Yes simple works if you so desire and it gives me something to do. -------- Wayne Gillispie Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=387299#387299 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:09 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: RV-10 Rudder trim From: "Bob Turner" I have neither rudder nor aileron trim. I haven't noticed any issues hand flying, although in truth I use the autopilot for anything over an hour x/c. I have a wedge on the rudder, and that is very close for most cruse flight. There is enough friction in the system to put in small corrections and have the friction hold it. I also have but do not usually use a large paper clip to slip over the tubing where the rudder cable exits into the tunnel, to increase the friction a bit, if needed to hold. (This is very easily overpowered). I have no pitch button on the right stick, to prevent accidental activation. Flying from the right seat I use the Ray Allan rocker, mounted on the center of the panel. The stick (left) switch runs the trim at full speed. For cruise I trim thru the Trio autopilot (this works regardless of whether or not the autopilot is engaged) using the autopilot knob. Trim speed is software programable, speed sensitive. I have it set up to run very slowly at cruise. Autopilot and trim CB's are right in front of the pilot, pullable in case of runaway. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=387320#387320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
