Hello all,
Whilst flying my RV14 taildragger i am experiencing inadequate forward trim over 140KIAS, with full forward trim the aircraft will sit in a nose up position and i am unable to trim for level flight.
The revised trim actuator arm from Vans was installed at the time of build.
I have heard from another RV14 builder that he had the same issue of not enough forward trim. The builder custom made a new trim actuator arm that was 5-6mm longer than the revised arm supplied from Vans. This has fixed his issue and he now has trim throughout the speed range.
Has anybody else experienced the same issue? If so how did you rectify the problem?
Any comments welcome.
Thankyou Mal.
