"All the way aft is full up trim move it about a inch forward and you are
going down.
Is this normal?"
If you find the trim unsatisfactory you always can adjust the trim either
at the trim tab or at the actuating mechanism.
If you are able to easily trim the plane for level flight, nose up
(approach) and nose down, then I think the trim mechanism is doing it's
job.

It sounds like you may need to remove the trim wire, clean and lubricate it. One of the first places to check is where the trim wire attaches to the control. If the housing is too far away from the trim control (not long enough) it can allow the trim wire to flex too much and not do its job.Removal of the wire is not very difficult. Replacement can be more so if the wire has been kinked or bent. Usually, you can straighten it through gentle taps with a hammer on a solid piece of metal backing. (after it has been removed, of course)A thorough cleaning using a Scotch-Brite pad, to remove all the gunk and miscellaneous accumulation over the years, and replacing it while lubricating it with a grease pad, will do wonders for its operation.Lynn Nelsen (sorry the answer took so long, but I was gone for a few days)RBH wrote:On my C model the lever that controls the trim tab moves through a arc of about 45 degrees for and aft.Only the last few degrees have any real effect.All the way aft is full up trim move it about a inch forward and you are going down.Is this normal?Measuring the tab itself and you get the proper masurments.RBH============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
