After connecting the Ray Allen Electric trim motor and following the construction manual from Vans I have zero clearance between the pushrod and the skin. The rod was cut to the suggested 3 3/8", and the tab is perfectly faired with the elevator. It seems at this point that the only option is to file the skin back almost to the rear elevator spar.
I have inserted several pics and a copy of the construction manual pics for the trim motor section. Vans shows the opening to be approx where I have it now. Also how much up and down travel are most tabs able to achieve. Vans says the max should be between 25 and 35 deg up and down. Im no where near that much.
Thanks gents,
