REFLECTOR: Pitch trim

[Alex Balic]

Chris- can you hear or see the actual trim unit moving? Does that move
immediately when you press the button and the control surface lags, or does
the motor just not activate for 3 seconds after you press the button- maybe
you have accidentally gotten your hands on a delay-make relay? Just a
thought- the motor should start immediately-

3 seconds, maybe more.  I will try to remember to time it on the morrow (or
even tomorrow <g>).  I hope to spend the day at the hangar.  Thanks.

 

All the best,

Chris,

 

Define “considerable”.  ½ second?  3 seconds?  My elevator moves up or down
the instant (less than a ½ second) I press the button.

I wired up the pitch trim tonight and noticed there is considerable lag
between when I activate the swith/motor and the trim spring/elevator
actually start moving.  Is this normal?  Is there a way to adjust this.
What, praytell, am I missing this time.  Thanks.

 

All the best,

 

Chris
