Just wondering if anybody has installed the trim wheel available at

 www.PerihelionDesign.com/moreproducts.htm  second item down the page.



If so, would be interested to know how you have found it.



This device turns the electric MAC elevator trim from a time based control 

to a positional control like in Cessnas etc.

Sounds like a very good plan,Kingsley. The MAC/Europa trim control is 
	


very fierce.

Yes Graham, it reads good but I don't yet know the physical size of it or 

it's cost.

I would prefer the wheel to the standard set-up not that I am saying there 

is anything wrong with the latter. . . I already have it installed !



Hope you're keeping well Ole mate!

Hi Kingsley,



I can echo Grahams comment about the trim, but I approached the

problem a little differently.  Matt Dralle, the guy who runs this

forum sells a small device that allows you to adjust the speed of the

MAC servo.  It works really nicely and I can recommend it.



Regards,  Paul

Hi Kingsley



Here is another interesting item that would probably work on a Europa:

Except that it is a switch behind a switch, i.e. moving the "stuck

switch" scenario further down the chain, to a "stuck steinar" scenario.

In simplicity and reliability there is not much that can improve upon

the original Europa trim design. Any additional electrical component can

fail as well. What's next? Another product to guard againts the Steinar

"broken on/of/reverse" switch and against the Steinar "stuck 3 minutes

timer"?

 I would endorse the 3rd product down  which I believe is in the trim wheel product.

 I have one on my Esqual and the finesse  of control is brilliant. It will adjust the trim that finely that you can hardly  see the trim tab move. Before fitting it was nearly impossible to set the trim  accurately as the motor would overrun past the required setting. I also use the  last products on the page to control heater vents-again brilliant.

 Regards,
