    Flap speed is not a problem. Elevator trim speed is definitely a problem in cruise, and I'd call it critical for safe operation that the speed be reduced above about 110kts.

    I think you mis-read, this post is about pitch trim motor speed, not flap speeds. One poster has tied a change in trim speed to his flap position, others are using a speed sensitive device (safe trim). Yes, the trim speed as it comes from Vans is about right for takeoff and landing but too fast for cruise. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=414984#414984

    I've not found the trim speed to be that much of a problem. I just have 'bu mped' the hat switch in the direction it needs trim. At least that's the wa y it works on the -10 I've flown. My suggestion is to see how your plane o perates and then make changes as needed.

    Thanks Bob, getting old sucks!!! So, to continue on with the thread, why not install a PW control as you suggested or run the trim off 6V?

    I have not had a problem. I did put in the safety trim system so the most I can do is 3 seconds at a time. I think 3 seconds at cruse could lead to a little bit of challenge, but not impossible to handle.

    I use to bump my hat also with limited control. With the speed reduction in cruse position your adjustment is so fine it is almost like an altitude hold. A 30% reduction in speed really makes a difference in feathering the trim.

    Danny, This isn't an issue of how easy it is to trim, this is an issue of safety. Yes, bumping it for a fraction of a second will indeed make it trim reasonably slow and you can indeed use it that way. The issue of safety is what happens when you accidently hit the switch. Even as early as my flyoff period, I had a clipboard hit the trim hat, and within a couple seconds I was in a hard nose-up climb. I did some testing later after adding safety trim to see just how bad it gets, and really if you have anything (ipad, book, checklist, chart, person) lay on that switch for a full second or more, it gets scary and for much longer than a second you could get close to having g-rating problems perhaps. So best to just do speed reduction for sure. The side benefit is that you can then even have MORE fine control over trim, because that same bump you use now is reduced to maybe 1/8th what it is.

    I have the flap controller install just as Van's provides. Works just fine. Flap position indication is a simple look out the window. I have the two speed safety trim controller and I recommend it. After 10 years of flying an 8A with just the single speed elevator & aileron trim I am used to not having the slow trim speed option - so I rarely use it in the RV-10.

    Yep - I did the same except the switch on the panel controls the common ground such that the pilot or co-pilot trim top hat and flaps work. This way if the pilot stick switch breaks (as on sticks shut) moving the panel toggle switch to the co-pilot position isolates the fault as well as restores trim/flap control buy using the co-pilot grip switches.

I wired both stick in parallel ..... with a switch in the co-pilot ground to disable that stick. All the other buttons on the co-pilot side can cause consternation to the pilot!!!!

    I like that idea! Simple switch change. Thanks.

    Anyone have experience with the electric rudder trim kit that is available for the RV10? Is rudder trim important in the 10? Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=415035#415035

    I have rudder trim in my -10, and like it. That said, I consider it a nice to have feature, not something essential. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=415036#415036

    I have a tab on the rudder, ball is pretty much centered in cruise most of the time. You will need something more than nothing.
