Elevator trim done



The elevator trim is now done. It uses basically the same kind of mechanism as can be found in the standard glider. It works fine but needs a bit more spring pressure holding the grip (that grips the threaded rod). I had hoped to use the springiness of the handle but it isnt enough, so will put a light spring in to help.

Now I have a stick that centers as would be expected, I will be looking at getting the potentiometers and necessary electronics to send signals to the pc. Also have some rudder pedals to put in when they arrive next week. Onwards and upwards!
