Brief Description:  Pitch Trim Mechanism

I finished trimming up the seat pans and decided that the LH side was going to need addtional trimming for the pitch trim mechnism. I got together the parts that I made a long time ago and started fitting them pure the manual. This required a slot be cut in the upper wing skin to clear the pitch trim bellcrank. I then trimmed the LH pan to fit around the new slot. I also laid out the parts that mount to the top of the wing that complete the trim mechinism. It actually looked like the plans! The measurement in the book are very close, kind of amazing to me. To adjust the friction in the pich trim mechinism you have to have access to the bellcrank bolt. I am going to cut a small hole in the LH pan to provide access to the bolt so the friction can be adjusted without removing the seat pan.
