Brief Description:Decion made, parts ordered for "Vic Syracuse" style electric rudder trim.


Moving forward with electric, rudder mounted rudder trim

Finally made the decision to proceed with the electric rudder trim and ordered the Ray Allen T2-7A servo kit, 50′ of 11-01579 wire teflon insulation (26 gage – 5 wire), some 11-04275 black expandable sleeve (also in various diameters), and some 05-00677 grommet edging (also in various diameters) form Aircraft Spruce. When Vans opens up on Monday I will order the VA-195C Access Hatch, VA-195D Hatch Cover, K1000-6 nut plates, C/sunk AN507-6R screws, hinge AN257-P3x24, and ES-00301 stand offs. The stand offs are not listed on the website so you have to call them in. I spoke with Vic Syracuse earlier in the day and he advised that the soft aluminum hinge was adequate and lighweight. Still deciding if I will run conduit or zip tie the 5 wire cable to the rudder.
