Hi,

 

I have installed the electric trim kit on my 701 elevator.  When I move

the tab +30 to -30 degrees from center, the tab/hinge binds at about

center of travel (neutral trim).  I can see the skin oilcan slightly at

the binding point and the tab itself curves at one extreme but is flat

at the other extreme. 

 

I do not want the binding because it would load the servo more than is

necessary.  Has anyone had any experience with something like this or

have any suggestions?

 

Thanks

 

Chuck Kyle

Chuck,



It sounds like either the hinge pin is bent or one or both of the hinge 

halves is bent or installed in a "curve". You may need to lay a straight 

edge along the length of the parts to check for straighness. Also disconnect 

the input rod and operate the tab by hand. See what you find.
