I would like to upgrade my sn 977 to the 1320 gross. However, I do not have
the elevator with the trim tab, and would have to also add the cable and
control for the trim tab. Costs for all that would be about $1300 for the
increase. I am questioning if it is actually worth that much to me.
I have two questions: One, someone said once that a trim tab could be added to
my elevator, has anyone done this recently or has an old elevator that the tab
has been added to on their plane?
Second, how much weight does that add to my plane? Obviously I would not gain
the entire 60 lbs, since the hinge, tab, and control would eat up some of the
60 lbs.
