Bob, could you share some details on the actuator and how you 

implemented the fit, please .... I need to achieve something similar to 

this for a Whisper TMG.



Thanks, Charles

 I have converted a Luscombe manual trim to work with a linear actuator. 12v.

 Momentary rocker switch on control stick.

 While the internet abounds with circuit offerings, I am aware of

 potential "noise" elements and there are probably a few best practices

 to adhere to.



 Any circuit suggestions appreciated.

 Best...

This is a well tested solution on LSA airplanes in our part of the world. 

Small trimtab makes it unlikely that a runaway event or mechanical disconnect will lead to catastrophic failure. Furthermore, these airplanes are for day VFR use only.

The unit is a simple 2 wire system and robust, with internal travel limit switches.

  I've not been involved in crafting such an

  installation in a light plane. I have worked

  on controls and components for trim actuator

  systems from Lear 55 down thru numerous light planes.



  I've had failure analysis tasks on several

  trim systems and I'm familiar with some

  of the requirements and risks.



  When I read that someone is considering or

  has accomplished a modification to a design

  with a demonstrated or certified history,

  little red flags pop up. Just be sure that

  the proposed system won't cut the stabilizer

  or tabs loose to flop in the breeze.

Here is the website for the linear actuator pictured above by Bob Verwey.
