Hello Folks

I would like to converse with Elite builders that have completed their
elevator portion as I have a couple of questions I would like to pose
off line if possible.

Please contact me at my E-mail address.

Thanks

Dave why not pose them online ...that's what the forum is for and there
are NO dump questions ..the only dumb questions are those not asked.
Others may have the same questions or concerns ...unless of course your
trying to set up an 'Elite' group. :-)

Don't worry about sharing the info - I'm sure most of us would like
to hear all about it too !! (That's the idea of this list ...)

Thanks ! ......bobp

Hi Folks

OK, Wray, Bob, Tim, you are right, the list is here for all to benefit
from, so away we go. (and Wray, you are a sharp one aren't you!, nope,
I wasn't trying to be "Elite" about this!! :^} )

I should say though that I was trying to be circumspect about my
questions out of respect for Murphy & Bijan (who also follow this list)
mainly because I talked to Bijan about it already.

What I wanted though, was to hear the expereince of others who are into
the Elite elevator build because I wanted to know as much as posible
about your experience before moving ahead.

OK, to the question. We are in the stage of putting the trim tab servo
rod mounts (EL-36 L&R) & servo assy in place and have run into a concern
about clearance in the throat of the fork where it attaches to the
EL-36s.

Talking to Bijan, we have established that the distance between the
pivot hole centers and the edge of the EL-36s should be .187" min.
(design dimension, .250) This applies to all three pivot holes (ie. 3
options).

Assuming that the trim tab requires and has equal travel in the up and
down direction, extreme up travel of the tab results in little or no
clearance between the back of the throat of the fork and the EL-36.

What I wanted to ask was, did other builders have similar problems and
how did you resolve it? Should the trim tab motion be biased to the down
direction?

Thanks in advance

Dave R.

PS. Since we have been lurking for most of the time, perhaps a few
words of introduction are in order:

He Mech. Engineer, she Physicist & pilot. We live in Nova Scotia,
Canada.
The plane is an Elite trigear #583 probably destined for an O-320 and
perhaps floats.
We have the rudder up to inspection completion and the stabilizer,
elevator & fin are close. About 185 hours so far and enjoying it.
