Second, the airplane
can not be trimmed to level flight at high speed. With the trim full down, the
stick must still be held forward to keep the nose on the horizon. We discussed
installing a stronger spring on the trim system, but I told him we should ask
the experts about this first. What's the best way to fix
this?
Bob,
Does the airplane have the
original trim lever? Or has it been upgraded to the Dick
Reichel trim wheel?
The original trim lever did
not have enough trim distance to trim for both cruise and slow flight; it was
good for one or the other but not both. The Reichel trim wheel provides
more trim authority in both directions and also has longer stiffer
springs.
