Hi Bill,
I've got a Riechel trim wheel on my 320. Works
good, lasts a long time. Takes care of all of the problems with the stock
trim system. I don't think that it would work on a IV though. It's designed to
work with the bias springs on a 320/360.

Wheel
I saw one installed in a 320(?) and
thought it was a very nice system. A while ago there was a thread about
runaway trim and that got me thinking. I like the idea of a positive
mechanical connection as opposed to pushing a button and waiting for the
response. Eliminating the trim tab and the weight of the servo
would reduce the weight of the elevator, eliminate tab hinge
wear, and might require less counterweight. OTOH I can imagine that
being able to adjust trim by pushing a button on the stick would be very
convenient.
What do those who have the system think of
it? Has anyone installed such a system on a IV? Thanks- Bill
