KR> Electric Trim Install
Hey Dave, wouldn't be able to post photos of your installation? Paul Smith Brisbane, AUSTRALIA pk.sm...@bigpond.net.au http://kr2spacemodulator.blogspot.com/ -Original Message- I managed to get the manual trim system out of there and then fit the new RAC system.

I've managed to do it - a retrofit - but I just have to ask!!! Are all of you guys just little guys? Or do you hire midgets, or use mini-robots, or bribe your kids, or what??? My access panel is just about large enough for my head. No arms in there, just the head! So, with extensive use of a mirror and a video camera, I managed to get the manual trim system out of there and then fit the new RAC system. Would I do it again? Well, yeah, I guess!!! But not for free!!! Dave. N1199P N8325M

For this application, one needs to use an analog servo, not digital servo. John Melvin El Paso, Texas In a message dated 4/7/2010 8:32:28 A.M.

Ray Allen probably is the best but, I went on the cheap side. I used 96 Toyota heater servo motors and Toyota Camary window switches. Seems to work fine. I also used the cables from the heater control off a toyota too. The motors and cables combined only weighed 5 ounces. --- On Wed, 4/7/10, Al Hawkins <awh.hawk...@telus.net> wrote: From: Al Hawkins <awh.hawk...@telus.net> Subject: Re: KR> Electric Trim To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 9:31 AM I tried to use a r/c servo with a test controller, and it worked fine until the transponder transmitted, then it went to full deflection.

Dave I have used a heavy duty model airplane radio control servo with a servo tester circuit as a controller. It hasn't flown yet so I don't know whether the servo is powerful enough. I tried the wing mirror servo method with a servo off a Jeep Cherokee, but I couldn't get it to operate fast enough.
