My airplane is flying, and I really like Jack Phillip's trim system. Mine works OK, but if I had seen his first I would have gone in more of that direction.Dan HelsperPoplar Grove, IL.-----Original Message-----

another thing that could possibly break it up is to try and press the valve inagainst the spring and let it snap shut a few times. I believe the aircraft mechanicsdo that at times on aircraft engines.not sure just how to accomplish iton a corvair because I'm sure there isn't a whole lot of stem height above thespring but there should be a way to rig something to do it. I think I mighttry that first just to avoid leaving any compound in the chamber.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 19:11:45 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Trim set ups

Now I seen ever-thang! Seriously, it makes sense if you have an electrical system already (like a crank-snappin' Corvair), and if it weighs less than the mechanical alternatives.How about some details? I kind of like it.Kip G.On Jan 12, 2011, at 9:11 PM, Rick Holland wrote:> Electric trim on a Piet?

Rick,I too have considered this type setup. A concern was the differentialpressure on the elevators since they are not connected. Would like to hearfrom any flying examples.JackDSM _____

Rick, one question. Is the trim tab on only the right elevator or is there one on both? I guess that if it's only on the one side there would be feedback through the cables to the other side. ----- Original Message -----

Rick, A few days ago you posted some pics of your electric trim. I have that exact actuatorfrom my abandoned 601HDS project. I have been fighting such luxuries (alongwith the 5th bearing), but I am now resigned to the fact that I am buildinga "tinkered with" Piet. Hope Mr. Pietenpol is smiling upon me. Furthermore,I already have a full blown electric system, complete with switches, knobs andfuses.Regrettably, I deleted your pics. Would you mind re-posting?Gary Sent on the Sprint Now Network from my BlackBerry________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Trim set ups

And then there's the Fokkers............ rear view mirror. The pilot used it to check for traffic conflicts, as well as any possible bird strkes that might be approaching from that direction.
