Good day all,
My electric elevator trim failed today in flight. The aircraft is fairly new to me but I reached out to the previous owner to ask if he had issues with the trim while he owned the aircraft; the trim worked great for him.
The trim failed just after takeoff, so I rejoined the circuit and landed. I parked the aircraft and inspected the trim tab area, no FOD, and the trim worked great on the ground.
I went back up for another flight, again the trim failed shortly after takeoff. I returned to the circuit, landed, and inspected. This time there is no movement of the servo at all.
Before I start troubleshooting this I thought I’d reach out here to see if anyone has had a similar problem.
Thank you for your contributions.
