REFLECTOR: Elevator trim

[Lou Stedman]

Ron I put a speed control on my elevator trim and it works great. The problem I had was that my electric trim was too sensitive. I would trim up just a tiny bit, then I would have to trim down, and the cycle repeated itself. I don’t remember which speed control I used but there are several out there. Here is how mine works. When you hold down the trim switch, the motor is slowed down so that you can control a smaller movement. If you hold down the trim for three seconds, the motor speeds up. This helps for major trim when landing. I believe my unit came from Jack Wilhemson 843-884-5061

Now before I jump off the and put this Dynamic braking on what is the censuses on the performance 
of this add on . Since I am so new to fling the velocity  and am working through so many other issues 
at the same time Cooling, oil levels, plane performance and the like .
I do not know if this is a really needed  mod or not yet though it seems like my plane may need it . 
I have done a little investigating a speed control device for the trim also.  Does the speed control 
help more or would a combination of the two really help

Brett Thanks for the pointing out the wiki I tried searching the reflector archives with no luck .

  If you have the strong trim, please make sure you're compliant with the AD.
