Rambles!!?? You told us out west here about the one
that happened over Manitoba. That was scary enough.
This additional talk about runaway trim failure also
has me wondering whether it is even worth having an
electric elevator trim. I never adjust trim on mine in
flight anyway, as it seems to have the same control
pressure whether in climb, cruise or any throttle
setting. A ground adjustable one would work fine. The
only possible reason would be as a back-up to your
elevator cable if it broke.

Hi Ken !
I'd appreciate it if you could find
that bulletin - and
a web address for it, if you have it.
I'll be talking about this, and a
couple of other areas,
at the Builders Meeting on Sunday - these
are NOT "nice-to-do" things,
they are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY !!! (still
shaking !! :-( )
Bruce only heard about the
partially-broken (by a stone
on takeoff) trim tab horn - the
'field-repaired' one tore completely off
over New Brunswick, and I payed an
unscheduled visit to Mr. McCain's
private runway !! Sure glad it was close !
Thanks ! See you all on Sunday !

There is indeed a MAM bulletin to doubleregardless of engine. I cantabs and also recommending it on all RebelsI believe.look it up but I've had it for a few yearsthose channels to tie into theRoger

You are correctbulkhead over the cutout in thearea. There is a doubler there on thedoubler over the cutout on thetop of the bulkhead. I replaced thatarranged for some of thebulkhead with a much larger doubler. Then Ithe angle brackets. If Isame rivets to fasten both the doubler andthe rivets in the doubledremember correctly, you should also offseteach other in the gap betweenbulkhead so that they don't interfere withthose doublers don't drillthe doubled bulkheads. ie. when installingrivet from the rear would thenstraight through both bulkheads as thechannel between bulkheads now as ainterfere with the rivet from the front.
