I've read through as many old posts as I can find, but not of clarity on this particular issue. While it does not appear that elevator balancing is really all that necessary on RVs, I'm going to balance mine as best I can. Howeer, I find that the manual trim cable, being as stiff as it is, exerts enough pressure to significantly change the angle at which the elevator naturally likes to sit.
Question: Do I balance the left elevator with the trim cable attached or out of the way entirely? I've read one or two posts that suggested doing it without the trim cable attached, but does it help to balance the left elevator without the trim cable if the trim cable's only going to have the tendency to pull the elevator out of balance when attached?
Thanks.
