Hey Bill: Glad to hear that your Coupe is back in action. You problem
sounds like the typical one where the wire needs lubrication in the stabilizer
area. I have seen several like this after a time of limited flying. The normal
trim, especially on a 415-D model has almost no up movement of the trim tab. I
would have to check the books, but I believe it is only 10 degrees. I have found
that as long as the CG is in normal limits, lubrication of the casing in the
stabilizer often cures the problem. You can try to make this happen by removing
the tail cone and squirting (spraying liberally) WD-40 or some other type of
penetrating oil up onto the casing of the trim wire. Let it set a few minutes
and then do it again and again. This usually frees up the trim wire movement and
lets you get those few degrees of up trim which will give you the nose down you
are looking for.
How is the new engine performing?
