followed a suggestion from Paul Lipps and installed a spring
connecting the
flap actuator to the elevator pushrod. In the
235 airframe this is easy
because the flap actuator lies alongside
the elevator pushrod. In a
320/360, the installation would be
a little more complex.
Bob,
Nice. Does it override the already set trim spring or actually move
the trim wheel?
The Skymaster has an arrangement where "flaps up" takes the elevator
trim out also. If I remember right, it is in the right boom - a sort of
cable slider that causes the trim wheel to rotate. Good for the
go-around. The elevator had trim tabs that were mechanically
cable operated by a giant trim wheel.
There is a solution to every problem. Some require human
intervention.
