Hello Guys,
I searched the forums but could not find any answers:
Two questions on Ray Allen Trim systems:
Is there need for high/low speed on the aileron trim? The system looks kinda simple and not so precise, with the springs, but do you want low speed at cruise speeds and high speed in the pattern, or just wire it directly and have high speed operation only?
Does the Ray Allen speed controller need a diode on the outgoing lead, if I have a speed-switch which puts 12 Volt power on that lead? In other words: I have a limit switch on the Flap actuator arm, that switches power directly to the servo or via the speed controller, depending on flap position. In the case that there is power directly on the servo, the speed controller gets 12 Volt on the ? wrong end? ! Is that a problem? I am not sure how it works, maybe it has an internal diode?
Thanks in advance for your input.
