Electric trim?

[Av8torTom]

Can electric trim be added to the empennage at any time?

Thanks,

Tom

I think it's not a big problem. The only parts you need are EET-602-BL and EET-602-BR servo support brackets and, obviously, the trim servo and related electrical items.
Both reinforcing plate and trim cover plate are the same for manual and electric elevator trim. (probably the servo support brackets are included in the electric elevator trim kit, but I have not checked it).

Thanks Claudio. The HS and one elevator are already assembled, so you still think it will be possible to add the required parts for electric trim?

Grazie,

Tom

Yes Tom,
you just have to modify the access cover plate to accomodate the trim support (six rivets if I recall exactly). All other parts are in common. Give a look at DWG 4 and look at the differences between the manual trim and electric trim installation. They're almost the same.
Ah.. the trim tab horn (E-717 and E-718) need to be trimmed for electric trim installation, but it's easy too.
