One advantage that you have when you build an experimental aircraft is to be able to customize. Now, I'm not that kind of engineer who makes significant changes, but small changes that make it more enjoyable and add performance or make you save money, are welcome.
So here I am, this is my trim lever! Instead of aluminum is made from a 4130 steel scrap!
Has the same dimension that plans call for, but to reduce weight i made those holes inside, which reduced weight from 135 to 90 gr.
Then i added a little lug to give extra lateral resistance.
So, it's a little bit heavier, but it's free.. tougher...and much pretty!
Rough dimension.
Cutting holes, not easy task... these saw is to small!!
Done! Now i need to
decide whether to mount the small ball or the big one! (plans call the small one).
