Sep 04, 2011     Strong Pitch Trim System - (2.5 hours)       Category: C17 Trim
I chose to install the Strong Pitch Trim system, which is very easy to install. My only regret here was the relay. It's odd - the pitch trim system is reasonably priced. But the relay is 10x its actual value, and it's simple to do this piece yourself. (Check the Aeroelectric articles archive for some examples.) The system is very easy to install. A metal bracket gets floxed/taped onto the fuselage and supports the motor. I installed mine on the copilot's side since there's nothing going on over there yet. After that it's just a matter of attaching the actuator's clamp to the elevator control rod and adjusting the entire assembly's neutral angle/length. I haven't wired my sticks yet - I'll wait until I'm ready to install them to do that.

PK note 6/8/2020: Project arrived with this system removed. I see parts in the bundles, but I have to reassemble and check for clearances.
