The way Corky is describing elevator trim is exactly the way it's shown in Tony Bingelis' book. Actually, he shows three different trim setups but one uses a push-pull Bowden cable and single bellcrank on the trim tab and the other two are variations that use separate bellcranks for push and for pull. Seems fairly straightforward to me, except the bit about how and where to transition the cable out of the fuselage into the control surface and out the fabric to the bellcrank.No idea "how much is enough" though. Cut and try?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 03 Aug 2005 17:52:27 -0400

the guy in the white shirt? yours truly
(see the controller in my hand?)No landings shown cause landings are a non-event.... what counts in the videobiz is the stability of the shot in motion. I have a Kenyon Labs gyro attachedto a camera mount that I helped design. The gyro has 2 weights that spin at22K rpm. Much like a heading indicator. It;s smazing the power the gyros havein stabilizing. It fits in the palm of your hand yet is very difficlut torotate when it is up to speed.I'm working on a new camera mount which will utilize 2 gyros at 90=B0 to each otherto help stabilize the yaw axis. I just started this business 2 months agoand already have ad agencies calling and police dept. calling me wanting demoflights. got 10 payng gigs lined up over the next 14 weeks.I have found a GPS/inertial semi-autonomous controller that will reduce pilot workloadup to 75%. This is a good thing for small 30lb helicopters... they requireserious attention and coordination. Will be getting one in a few months.If all goes well this may become my primary source of income in the next year.....the downside? as I said.. it's eating up the GN-1 funds and time... restassured though that come December I WILL start covering my wings! come hell orhigh water damnit.ok..... enough of my rambling.... sorry. I had to share my latest endeavor withmy Piet friends.DJ V.N74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper ----- Original Message -----
