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

Mark that looks really good. The servo looks a lot like the RC servo that I

Hi all,
I'm beginning to think of what I'll do with my elevator trim! I like
the idea of the car electric mirror servo motor, but am wondering how to set up
an indicator system so that I can set it to neutral during pre-flight? What did
all you others do with yours?
Thanks

Gavin,
We are using the other half of the set of motors, in hopes that they will
turn at approximately the same rate and give some general indication of down
or up. I am not sure that I would recommend it. I don't even know how the
motor is really going to work as a trim motor, but give us a few m

I think that is the theory and with hands off the stick, I do believe that
it will move up and down with the trim. I would not want to test this theory

You make a good point. Other than for a "piece of mind" backup to elevator

I used to practice this technique in my Taylorcraft when I would get bored
and could think of nothing else to do except "what ifs". I found I could
use the elevator trim quite successfully to raise and lower the pitch. I
also used to doors to substitute for rudder. I often would get the T-craft

Of course it has been done - effectively, on other aircraft.

I do agree that if the elevator is in tact and functioning that the trim tab
can control the aircraft. And with the aid of power management climbs and
desents are quite possible. Make sure you install an inspection hole so
that you can take a good look for cracks. I personall am not aware of any
d pass.

If your stick breaks off and you have elevator trim control you can set the
desired flying angle with the trim tab.I am proof that it works.
