I am having trouble adjusting my trim tension. It falls forward on it's own. I have tried to adjust it with the castle nut, but one slot (castle) is too much. Any suggestions?

I was having a miss in my 912 UL along with a bad mag check on runup. I worked on this for a couple of months and finally found two things that I believe were causing it. One was a broken wire in the red power lead to one of the modules. I found this by using an ohm meter and a sewing pin which I inserted in the wire shielding as I moved along the wire. The break under the wiring was totally invisable on the surface.
The second thing I found was a bad plug. I removed the almost new plugs and "bomb" checked them under pressure. Sure enough one of them would not fire although it looked fine.
After those fixes,it is now running very smooth with no misses.

I had the same problem. After a while I went ahead and set it in the 'Too tight" notch in the castle nut. After a while it worked in and is just right now. You might try using some thin washers to get the right adjustment or maybe finding a thicker piece of leather to make the friction washer out of.

Put a thin or thick washer under the nut and see if that changes the
position of the slot versus the tension that you seek.
Or drill another hole through the stud, only at right angles to the
first hole...that will give you an approximate *half-notch* tuneability.
What's wrong with the one slot tightening being too tight? It just
makes the flaps a little harder to deploy, but after a little time,
it will loosen up...or you will get stronger...one or the other. : )
