Jay,

I (after much e-mailing) got the attached drawing from CZAW and I hope you find it more use than I did!

In the end I found out, from the UK agents, that all you need is a spring that will apply about 6 - 10 lbs of back pressure on the stick when the flap is lowered.

Thanks for sending it, but, you are right. It is pretty much useless.

I was curious, because I had never heard of an "elevator bias spring". Now that I know what it is, I know I don't need one.

Have a look at the attached drawing 6-BO-4CZ: This is the installation of the "elevator bias spring" required by LAA UK on CZAW CH601XL.

Does the LAA require the bias spring on aircraft that have the full width
elevator trim tabs (i.e., as changed in updates 2005b)? Or is it only
required on aircraft with the original, narrower elevator trim tabs?

Thanks.

Both full width elevator trim and elevator bias spring are required by UK LAA (see TADS: http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/engineering/TADs/162B%20ZENAIR%20CH601-XL.pdf).

I saw a flight test report that was issued by the test pilot of the UK LAA. He wrote that the aircraft is not trimmable with full flaps extended, even with the full width elevator trim.

OK I cannot read the words about the size or strength of the spring required for full flap, anyone expand on this? and

how is it different from other XL's as I thought the Idea of the full size trim was so you can still do a circuit with full flaps and fly hands off with full elevator trim.?

One thing which varies a great deal among XLs is the engine
weight. I think this could have a large impact on the trim required
under some conditions like full flaps.
