I left out the main problem with flying without a trim tabit's downright dangerous. Let go of the stick and the plane may climb or dive (think stall or head to the ground) under extreme conditions. You have to fly the plane the whole time. It's very tiring, and not something you'll want

Sam, I might as well send my link, for the "excruciating detail" version of the MAC (Ray Allen) trim setup also. See http://www.n56ml.com/trimtab/index.html One thing to be careful of is don't run your indicator wiring anywhere near an antenna cable or the radio itself, if possible, as the t

Wow, thank you very much for the quick replies; While I have not looked at the problem or system in detail (will get to it Friday or Saturday work permitting), I can say from the few times I have looked at it, the trim tab is connected to a cable (nothing special, just a normal every day cable

I used the Nyrod system from cockpit to the elevator trim tab on my KR-2. This system is a type of plastic Bowden cable. Both ends of the sheath must be firmly anchored to the fixed structure of the aircraft or the trim tab will not function properly. The anchor point on the sheath at the hor

Hey guys; this weekend if the weather cooperates I am going to try to correct an issue that I’ve had for quite some time now. It seems that my elevator trim is not doing its job properly. Whenever I am flying by myself, the plane will nose over slightly when I release the stick, even with full
