Thank you all again for the help looking at the different RV models and starting the ideas rolling on how to modify them. I'm still working on the heavy hitters like flight control inputs, etc.
In the meantime, we have identified one area that will probably help me out a lot: trim.
Elevator trim is an obvious need and I've looked around the forums and seen a lot of posts about "the -10 doesn't need rudder trim." While that is true, having it onboard looks like something that will help me.
Can some of you experienced builders point me in the direction of a mechanical trim system that has electric inputs? I'm looking for something for both elevator and rudder trim.
I will need to be able to disable the electric inputs in the case of runaway trim but still use the trim with the electronics disabled.
It's a long story as to why (I'll post a video on my YouTube channel soon if you want all the details), but I wanted to get the ball rolling while it was fresh. Thank you all!
