    Subject: Re: trim servos
    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: <patmc2002@sbcglobal.net> One other thing to add to Jim's comment about flutter is that my midget mustang has a trim tab that has a very small spring on the hinge-pin that would apply pressure on the tab in one direction or the other (your choice) in the event of a linkage failure. You would have to over-ride the pressure, but it would cut down the chance of flutter, and maybe save the day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Clement" <jc168x@tds.net> Subject: Tailwind-List: trim servos > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Jim Clement" <jc168x@tds.net> > > One thing to be aware of if using a trim servo on a control surface to move > a trim tab.

    Ted and I will be flying down later in the month. I'm busy working on a Navy contract that is due this week. Ted is working on his machine installing a new EIS. I'm working on my wing, doing some finish work. Hope you all have a great time.

Red Hamilton and Marilyn. Dennis Vest and his wife Barbara. Probably Fred and Ted? I am also talking with a T-18 owner Bill Cardoza, but that is iffy at best. It would be good if Darrell could come, and Wilson, Ivan and other tailwind owners.

    Subject: Re: Springs
    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Fred Weaver" <Mytyweav@earthlink.net> Frankly, not very important, it's only slightly thicker... A decent fairing would be just fine, favoring the bottom of course. I guess I will have to be the first one. Just didn't want to go cutting into the fabric right away. Guess it's not worse than the lower wing skin......
