manual to electric pitch trim on a -4??

[rv7charlie]

Has anyone done this conversion, & are there plans for it?

This isn't about the merits of each; the builder of my -4 installed the manual trim cable on the 3rd lever of a throttle quadrant, and the lever action is backward (forward causes nose up trim).

I've got an old MAC electric trim servo & it just seems easier to install it than a Rube Goldberg affair to reverse the lever's action on the cable.

Thanks,

Charlie

Cahrlie, early on there were some ofus who mounted the trim servo back on the aft deck by the tail, and used a bowden cable from the servo to the trim tab. It seemed to work quite well. It got rid of a whloe lot of weight, too.
