| Subject: | aerosport rudder trim |
Hello List,
Anyone has installed Aerosport's rudder trim kit?
Need a picture of the rudder arm angle in relation to horizontal. It
seems that in order for the spring to clear the sub panels, the arms
have to installed about 25 deg from horizontal and it seems too flat of
an angle to me.
His website picture clips the rudder arms.
Thank you.
Rob Kermanj

Rob
If you have the standard vans panel and depending on where you mount the uni
t you could have a interference with the sub panel.
You can angle the arms if needed a little. The other option is to lower the
Spring holes on the arms

Okay, I'll try that.
My hot starts do result in some rough running for up to about 30 seconds
or so. If leaving the boost pump off eliminates some of that. I'll change.
Thanks!
