    Hello all,
 
 Don is looking information on the Trim-o-matic control kit that was once (and may still be) installed in his coupe.  He is not yet on the list so I am forwarding this on his behalf.
 
I believe that Chirs Trent has scanned a lot of the 'Coupe drawings from Bowling Green.   How 'bout it, Chris? You have any drawings showing the Trim-o-matic?
 
I'm sure Don would appriciate any information available.
 
Regards,

Hey Mitch!  Thanks for the help in locating the source for repairing my  fuel tanks.
 
Unfortunately, my hard drive crashed and eliminated your reference to the Coupe lovers web site for help. 
 
I have a new one for you, and who ever else can help.  In my airframe log #1 is an entry, when the plane was about 25 hours old, for the installation of a Trim-O-Matic kit SK-20.  I looked between the seats, near the floor, and sure enough, the shaft for the Trim-O-Matic is there, but without an adjustment knob.  I don't see any entries for removal of the kit, so I presume it still is installed and has been forgotten over the years.  Since the plane flies left wing low, I hope I can lubricate the control, install a new knob and the Trim-O-Matic will once again be functional. 
 
I looked in the modification section of "A Touch Of Class" and found the Trim-O-Matic control kit was installed using Ercoupe service memo #54, and Erco drawing
415-52175, change A.  Do you know where I could get my hands on these two documents?  Maybe Bowling Green University?  How about using the network for me?  
I would really appreciate whatever you can do.
