Can someone  point me in the right direction to an article i saw (here i think) where someone  had made a 

 composite "horse  shoe" spring an attached it to the aileron push rod under the cockpit module  along

 with a small  servo

craig,



The only aileron trim servo I'm aware of is attached to a moveable trim  

tab on the trailing edge of the aileron itself. One example of this  

type of servo is shown here:



www.europaowners.orgmodules.php?set_albumName=album126&id=60_Aileron_tri 

m&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php



If you have trouble w/ the long link, go to europaowners Gallery, go to  

Cliff Shaw's albums, namely, the one entitled, "Aileron trim tab"...5  

images w/ a bit of text.



Hope this helps,



Fred

I remember seeing this trim setup for another airplane and decided to do the same for the Europa.  I think it was on an RV-6 or 9.  I tried looking through my URL that I have saved, but could not find it.  I don't think it would be to hard to set it up.  I'm working on the cockpit module now and will be installing the aileron push rod in the next couple of weeks.  That was one of the mods I will be making.  I did not like like the trim out on the aileron and covered it back up.  I'll sent you some of the pictures as I start to work on it.

yes i  was of the same opinion that the tab ON the aileron while functional is less  desirable than

 a  servo on the system itself, and given the size of the ailerons compared to a  tab, only a millimeter

 or so  of adjustment should be needed to trim imbalances

HOO  Ray i finally found it.

  

 The  trim system i was looking at was for the cozy. but we could use it, under the  seat i am guessing would be the best spot

 acting  on the torque tube, no steel springs to fail etc, benign failure if it does  brake for some reason.

   and go to    the bottom.

    

   I'm sure    the cozy boys wont mind sharing one of their mods with us :    )

Great,  I looked for two hours yesterday, as it was to cold to work in the garage.  I knew I had see it, but where?  I copied both links and will be looking at doing it this month.  I start vacation on the 22nd and have until the 7th off.  I'm hoping I can do a lot of work on the kit.
