| Subject: | Re: Elevator trim alternatives |
Eric, I haven't installed electric trim, but it seems to me that Brian's set-up
could be modified by removing the handle and installing a small MAC servo. The
servo could be mounted hanging from the tube that supports the flap handle and
attached to the slider. The only question is whether the servo is strong enough
to handle the loads. Of course, the amount of travel would have to be such
that the stick could still be moved from stop to stop regardless of the position
of the servo arm. (Allows the aircraft to be controlled in the event of servo
failure.)
This is just a thought and there may be practical reasons why it won't work.

Subject: Tailwind-List: Elevator trim alternatives
The W-10 plans version elevator trim looks like an afterthought. I would like
to get rid of my plans version W-10 elevator trim in favor of something less
obtrusive. I have been studying Brian Alley's trim handle and the original W-8
trim handle. They are better but still both are in between the seats attached
to the flap handle in an area of valuable real estate in the cabin.
Has anyone else installed an electric or manual elevator trim setup on a W-10
Tailwind with the plans control stick that eliminates the plans setup in favor
of something less obtrusive?
