| Subject: | Re: rudder trim RV-10 |
I've seen rudder trim tabs hacked out of the rudder, riveted bendable
tabs, big wedges, small wedges ...... but nobody could tell me 'how much
tab do you need?'. So I decided to use small RC servos to implement my
aileron and rudder trim which will drive a hinge segment, controllable
from the stick. I'll probably leave the installation of the hinges
'till after phase 1.

My aileron trim consists of switching the fuel selector to to heavy side. Works
every time and no runaway issues.

One poster has tied a change in trim speed to his flap position, others are
using a speed sensitive device (safe trim).

| Subject: | Re: rudder trim RV-10 |
No experience here but after 350 hours of flying without rudder trim,
I've decided not to install the trim system because it's not worth the
effort.
I've found that on one hand, I like flying with my feet on the pedals.
It may be a holdover from the Maule. It takes very little pressure to
adjust for climb, cruise and descent. Flying with the AP engaged, the
pedals help keep me engaged.
On the other hand, there is enough friction in the system (and so little
pressure is required) that I can set the right pedal where I need it
and it will stay there in most conditions. I know that people have
simply added some friction or even a temporary stop to the cable to help
accomplish the same thing. That didn't sound right to me before I flew
but makes sense now. Adding a bit of friction to increase the breakout
force would have little or no effect on the operating friction and would
be sufficient for 'setting the trim' in this particular plane.
I do recommend aileron trim and something to slow down the pitch trim
and/or limit its effects (I use Safety Trim).

I use a 12" hinge segment as you describe, and it is more than enough. Very small
deflections will maintain trim. I think 6" would do the job; maybe even less.

Wow, that was fast! I started on my windshield install shortly after
your incident report. Still working on getting the fiberglass fairing
finished.

The second time goes a LOT quicker than the first time!
The fear of screwing it up is not there. Its the 3 hours of grinding out
the old one that was the worst.

Hopefully you used the desser/Cee Baileys,
That would explain the quick time to repair

Thanks Jim. I was going to start out with 12" and trim as necessary. I
can adjust the speed of the servo easily so I hope to end up with
smallest added drag and good trim function.
