Has anyone built a manual trim system for a 701 or a 601. I really don't want more buttons. I'd rather have a wheel or better yet a crank!

The CH 640 also has a manual trim system which works very well which consists of a wheel similar to a Cessna with a built in trim indicator. I don't know what it costs to purchase seperately.

Could a 701 style Flap actuator be adapted?
The wheel type is what I was thinking of, when I posted the question. Is there a vertical slot cut in the leading edge of the elevator for the the cable?

I like the areo conversions idea quit a lot and though the 701 elevator is huge, does this limit the amount of movement available to maneuver the airplane?
