Dear Listers,
Working on my RV-4 electric trim, I don't seem to find anywhere where
the actual UP and DOWN travel amounts for the trim tab are called
out. I built the Mac Trim servo installation more or less per the
plans, and I'm getting about 1" UP and 7/8" DOWN travel measured at
the outboard end of the tab with respect to the trailing edge of the
elevator. I've included a couple of pics for reference.
With an O360 and CS Prop, will this be sufficient trim throw?
Thanks for the help!

Matt,
I have 1 1/4" up and down travel on my MAC electric trim tab measured at the
outboard end of the tab.
I have a 6A with O-360 and Hartzel CS prop so may be a little different then
your 4. I don't think I have ever had the trim all the way to the end of
"DOWN" trim travel in flight. But, I do run it all the way to end of "UP"
trim travel (or close to it) while in landing configuration. Have been
thinking about changing center a little to get more up but then my trim
position indicator would be slightly off.
