Electric Aileron Trim

Installing the trim was relatively straight forward. First I cut the wing wires to length and re pinned.

After it was pinned I used lacing tape to clean it up.

Then I built the trim motor mount.

Installed the trim motor.

I used a "custom" 12V battery back I made to run the motor to get the arm at 90 degrees. I also previously had bent the arm so that it will hold steel springs off the push rod to help with chafing.

Next I marked on the pushrod the location of the cneter of the arm, then removed the pushrod for drilling.

I drilled and installed the mounts for the spring.

After installing the pushrod I installed the springs on to the trim motor. This is kind of a pain in the ass.
