REFLECTOR: AP Pitch servo and trim

[Carl Hoffman]

The spring gizmo is there for a purpose. It's not a dampener, it's spring. Think a a car without shock absorbers.

The AP/Pitch system is coupled with my EFIS and has trim speed setting for high and low speed cruise and adjusts the trim speed accordingly.  I don't plan on using the pitch actuator supplied with the kit.  My question is this:  Do I still need to install that spring gizmo or can I just attach an extension to the elevator center bracket and connect directly?  I'm not sure exactly what the spring does, I'm guessing it's some sort of dampener and I'm thinking that the intrinsic dampening in my AP/trim system will suffice, but I wanted to solicit opinions.
