----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- My '58 Forney has a quadrant-style trim control located just to the right of the throttle. It works poorly, mainly due to the resistance within the cable itself. I replaced the stainless wire and lubed the entire cable, and it's still quite "sticky". The problem seems to come from aft of the cable coupler at the tail where it has to make a severe "S" turn to connect to the trim tab. I'd say 70% of the resistance comes from this "S" turn. At the next annual, I plan to replace that portion of the cable....that is if the trim handle doesn't break first from all the tugging. Has anyone had success at achieving smooth quadrant-style trim operation? Regards, Patrick Thompson '58 Forney N7535C Enumclaw, WA

Its kind of hard to set the trim for level flight when at cruise speed, on the ground the lever moves much easier. I have noticed on cadets they have there trim between the seats mounted on the floor with a twist type control, has anyone ever converted over to this type of trim, or does anyone know of any other type of Trim other than the lever on the side panel.???
