Sep 08, 2022     wired linkage for roll trim - (1 hour)       Category: Avionics
plan calls for .041 safely wire for to connect the springs to the lever arm coming off the roll trim motor. When I first installed and ops checked this, I didn't have any .041, so I just temporarily connected it with some .020.

I did a BFR for one of my friends a month or so ago and charged him teh whopping price of 3' of .041 safety wire for my trouble. Making Bank Baby!

Had a little time this morning, so I cut off the light weight stuff and replaced it with the well earned .041. Then I had one of those face pam moments. When I had wired this up originally, I had set it so that hat switch left moved the trim motor bell crank left, and vice versa. Playing with it this morning, i realized that he trim is set up so that the motor pulls the springs on the stick linkage below teh pivot point, so it actually needs to move the other way d'oh!

Fortunately, garmin makes stuff like this pretty easy. Go into config, go to the trim menu, select; invert/reverse/go backwards...whatever the terminology is, and magically it works correctly.
