Gary, On the subject of trim tabs. We [ my father and
myself ] have taken off a week to work completely on the plane. We're gearing up
here to hit it at full steam.. and reading ahead I find a couple things to ask
about. The first is trim tabs. Does a guy need Aileron Trim tabs? I'm
planning for definatly elevator trim, but haven't desided which way to go w/ it.
I'm not sure if I should do the lever style thats in the instruction manual
or? Isn't there some type of trim wheel thinggy floating around? Do
you know where a mate might get one? Cost? Also.. there is nothing
in the instructions or plans that I've found, about trim tab's as far as
dimensions and locations. Any sugestions? Do i put the trim tabs in before
closing the various control surfaces or.. after? or? Is electric trim
worth it? Rudder trim.. do ya need it? We've got the elevator and the
h-stab micro'd together.. but haven't started to run any bids yet.. I've
also got the ribs for the rudder.. the ailerons and the flap templates are
getting cut tonight... so we've got lots of work ahead of us.. I'm
also wondering about the AOA stuff.. we talked about it and desided to go ahead
w/ the AOA that is sold by.. is it Jack? I've got the info around here
someplace.. anyway.. wondering.. that should be placed before
the wings are closed? [ i understand its composed of two tubes..
on pass's throught the top skin the other throught the bottom to measure
delta 'p'] our wings are done.. except that they aren't closed.. but everything
else is completed. [ other than the stuff at the tip.. tip fairings.. lights
etc.] I'm also wondering if you give out your phone number... for emergency
calls only of course ;) in case we need help in some desperate way
over the course of the week. Don't worry.. we won't call collect :) I forgot my
list of questions for you so this will have to sufice.. for now anyway..
until i can get ahold of my list..
Thanks again.
Jarrett
