Thank you to everyone for their replies and suggestions on fixing the stick forces. I added a fixed tab as everyone described and I guess I got lucky. It measures 5? wide by 1 ?? beyond the trailing edge. I bent it up about 30 degrees. Voila! That was enough help to the existing trim tab that so t now operates effectively. Hard to believe as minor a modification could have such a great impact on overall results. It?s ugly but very secure and now ?officially flight tested!? I?ll make a bunch of appearance improvements after I get comfortable with its operation but for now I?m flying with a working trim system. Gentlemen, Thank you.
Yes, about the same as Jeff reported. I glued a piece of bent aluminum, guessing at the amount of bend needed. When I got it right, I riveted the aluminum piece to the trailing edge of the elevator and filled/sanded/painted and you can hardly tell it is there. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
