Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re:Trim Tab So9me time ago I suggested trying the pre war Taylor craft Trim. The trim was a vane halfway between the top longeron, and bottom longeron. This is below the stabilizer and rudder assembly. It was abouit two inches wide, and maybe 4 inches long. Metal. Some type of mechanism was placed under the right seat, and the pilot pulled the trim tab up or down to adjust trim. I worked beautifully. I do not know ifthis was carried over on the pre war craft.Dr. O. Lanham, Bellevue, Ne________________________________________________________________________________

The Taylorcraft (prewar) trim tab is larger than 2", actually, it is about4" by 6". There is a slide lever that operates it via two cables. Itwould probably work well on a Piet. Yesterday, I was flying closeformation with a friend in his T-Craft and he had the original trim tab onthe fuselage side AND a small tab on the elevator which was bent up. Imeant to ask him about it when we got down, but forgot. Maybe I'll calltoday and find out why two tabs. Gene________________________________________________________________________________
