| Subject: | Slowing down the trim |
We all know that the usual trim setup used in the RV's and others is very touchy.
Early in building my RV-8 I built and installed a 9 volt power supply intending
to power the headsets with it.
Foolish boy, that doesn't work.
Since the 9 volts was already there I tried it on the trim motor, leaving the trim
indicator supply at 14 volts.
Everything has been working fine with the trim just running slower, a good thing.
I realize that most people will not want to bother installing a separate 9 volt
supply but it does work.
For those interested the shack 5 amp regulator has a schematic and parts list on
the back of the package.
Contact me off-line for my trim schematic. It is in autocad format.

Cool idea, but couldn't you just install a rheostat to throttle back on the voltage
to the trim system instead of putting in another lower voltage system? This
way you could have the speed trim and the fine trim. Does your low voltage
system make it easier to trim out in cruise?
