A friend of mine had the same problem with his electric pitch trim. He enlarged the trim tab and got into flutter, so be careful about balance if you go that route. I have Dick Reichel's mechanical pitch trim wheel, which attaches to the original Lancair system with heavier springs and larger throw. Works perfectly and I can trim throughout all speed and cg ranges. I highly recommend that simple, reliable system.

I am new to this maillist and I have been scanning through the messages. I have seen some references to not having enough trim authority and discussions on the pitch trim topic. This was my first time to fly a Lancair so I don't have any references. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Our immediate plans are to re-verify the stab incidence angle. We are also considering enlarging the trim tab. Another option would be to install the original spring based pitch trim. If we do put in the spring system, I would like some advice on whether or not we can make it electric.
