[rebel-builders] Aileron trim
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:42 pm
I slipped an adel clamp over the horizontal push pull tube beside the
pilot seat. It is one size larger than the tube. A bungee cord runs from
it back to a convenient spot behind the door. I slide the clamp forward
and back to adjust the trim. The rubber sleeve in the adel clamp grips
the tube and it stays where I put it as I always keep at least a little
tension on the bungee cord so it can't move and restrict control
movement. My flaperon equipped rebel always needs some right trim unless
power is brought back to idle. A bungee on the control stick also works
but it was always in the way getting in or out of the airplane.
