IIRC, elevator trim tab flutter was what led to the crash of Jimmy Leeward's P-51 "Galloping Ghost" at the 2011 Reno air races. Leeward was killed along with 10 people on the ground, and another 69 people were injured. I have no idea how the P-51's trim tab was actuated. Oscar Zuniga Medfor

Giving an unproven device with unknown ability to reject EM radiation etc direct access to a control surface seems like a terrible idea. Add a stick trim control - let it control that, so you're always 100% guaranteed you can override it. As it's acting against the centering of your stick not the

The feedback so far is great and has me thinking that a geared motor running a fine threaded rod to a captive nut on the tab should eliminate the need for a servo lock. The PWM signal from the gyro is easily converted to a motor drive signal. Next question is what RPM the motor should be. Seems

Craig said, "The question is will a small tab on one aileron be enough to control?" Since we can steer our planes by leaning our heads from side to side, I would guess your idea would work fine. Instead of cutting into your aileron to install a tab, could you connect the gyro you mention to a s

The DAR was absolutely correct about trim flutter.  I had a trim cable break on my SuperCub clone.  The trim tab went into flutter so violent is darn near shook the plane apart. Elevator tips were a blur with roughly 6" oscillations on a wire braced tail. You could see the shock waves from t

Craig, I tried to use a RC servo for my KR elevator trim. The DAR would not accept it. His issue was that if the servo lost power it didn’t have a lock up mode unpowered. The possible result was flutter in the trim tab. I had to remove it. Worth checking before you go that route. Thanks, Rob
