Hey all –   

   

I was hoping someone could clear some stuff up for me about the aileron trim…  I searched the archives but couldn’t find the info.  In Vans catalog, the aileron trim for the RV-10 says that the trim is a spring bias system connected to the control column.  I thought, however, that I had heard that it was installed in the wing.  Could someone who’s installed it clear this up for me?  And also, what I should order if I plan to install it?  

   

Thanks

It's definitely a wing installed spring system.  You basically have a

pair of springs mounted to the aileron pushrod, with the center being

a kind of lever arrangement.  The servo just swings the lever one way

or the other, which adds tension to one side.  It seems to work fine,

and it's a pretty simple system.  There isn't anything connected to

the control column.   I installed mine in a completed wing.  It will

be JUST slightly easier to do if your wingtips are off.  You may

also want to paint that wing access plate after you install the trim.

other than that, it's super simple.  If you plan to install it, the

only thing you need extra is a little wire (I think there might be

5 wires to the servo), and some sort of stick that has a Hat switch.

The Aileron trim is one of those things I wouldn't sweat until you

get nearly done with the project...and just install it right before you

mount your wings.
