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" Subject: Tailwind-List: trim servos > --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Jim Clement" > > One thing to be aware of if using a trim servo on a control surface to move > a trim tab.

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.

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......
