Guys



Those of you who already finished building and/or are already flying your RV-10, would you please confirm that the tabs of the pitch (elevator) trim don’t move completely coordinated, i.e, when you move the pitch trim along all the course, the right tab moves “logically”, all the way up and all the way down, but the left tab doesn’t move all the way up, and along the course of the movement the left tab even moves temporarily in the opposite direction of the right tab.



Is this the way it should work?



Comments welcome 



Regards

Carlos

They do not. Check out chapter 5 of the installation instructions. It gives you the angle for fill up and full down. They’re not the same for both.

They most definitely do NOT move in the same manner.

Correct - that is how it works.



You end up with a boatload more up trim than down (as it is needed with those big flaps).
