| Subject: | Manual trim cable attachment at aft end |
--> RV9-List message posted by: "Matthew Brandes" <matthew@n523rv.com>
I was playing with the elevators and the manual trim cable this weekend. I
was trying to figure out how the aft end of the trim cable gets secured when
I found the nut welded to a small steel plate in the manual trim hardware
bag. I can only assume that this somehow gets attached to the access cover
which then holds the cable in place.
Questions:
- Are there seperate manual trim instructions somewhere? I can find no
reference in the instructions and the plans only have a small picture of
this that I could find.
- Did you just rivet this nut/steel plate to the access cover? Seems that if
you did it this way it would be a challenge to 'turn' the access cover/nut
onto the trim cable. (I positioned my manual trim cable higher on a center
post, so I have no slack to pull it out farther.)
I'm thinking a nutplate on the back side of the steel plate to attach it to
the access cover. That would allow you to remove the access cover without
removing the trim cable and such.

Hey Matthew,
Got your post and was thinking about this. I haven't gotten anywhere near
having to worry about it, but I did some thinking on it awhile back while my
shed was being built and I couldn't do any real building.
DWG 4, MANUAL TRIM ASSY view shows the steel plate with the nut welded to it
riveted to the cover plate. I'm thinking that once set, there is really no
need to even access this area except to deal with the trim components for
some reason. Looks like you would need to have this in place and then hook
up the other end in the cockpit last so you can have the slack you need to
get it into place.
Just trying to figure it out for myself too.
Regards,
Mike

Mike,
Thanks for the reply because you helped me make the decision. I hadn't
thought about just unmounting the trim knob at the front and then push it
out enough to turn the whole access cover w/ nut attached onto the cable and
then pull it back in to mount. The only downside to this is that I had some
wires running along with the trim cable. I'll have to attach those to
different locations.
So I'll be riveting that nut/steel plate to the access cover and I'll pull
the trim cable in/out as necessary to get it on/off.

Great question and timely. I offer another option. Drill the welded plate
and install a nutplate. Then you can screw on a #8. I think this allows
easier adjustment when and if needed.
Just my .02 worth.
