REFLECTOR: Pitch trim

[Christopher Barber]

Sorry guys.  I was not clear.  The actuator starts immeadiatley.  It is the elevator that does not respond for about 5 seconds following the movement of the actuator motor.

All the best,

Chris

  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.

    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
