Brief Description:  Checked aileron trim tab control

As much surgery as had been done on the aileron, I wanted to re-verify that the trim tab still worked. I also wanted to do a final check on the sense of the aileron trim switch and indicator - just in case!

1. Positioned aileron on port side of aircraft, so control cable could reach through access hole in side of aircraft.
2. Temporarily wired trim cable to terminal board under pilot seat.
3. Temporarily connected +12v to the trim circuit.
4. Verified that the trim was centered with the indicator showing center.
5. Verified that moving the control to the left caused the trim tab to go down, which would move the aileron up, and the wing down.
6. Verified the indicator showed a port wing down indication for this position.
7. Verified that moving the control to the right caused the trim tab to go up, which would move the aileron down, and the stbd wing down.

Success!
