Haven't flown a C-5, but know about the trim system. The C-5 autotrim system uses stick force feedback with a delay and slow trim motor rate. When x lb of force is sensed on the column (via strain guages) continuously for y sec, the trim motor turns very slowly in the correct direction changing the whole stabilizer angle. There are limiter switches on stabilizer position. The system may be changed to a manual mode by the pilot. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
