Pic request MK4 elevator with electric trim

8 posts in this topic

Posted

Looking for some pictures of a MK4 elevator that shows the trim tab and if able how an electronic servo is mounted and covered. My manual shows the cable set up. Highwing LLC is building me the bigger elevator and I am going with electric trim and I just wanted to send him a couple pics.

Thanks!

Joey,

     I may have some drawings in one of my manuals - Tomorrow I could post a couple of photos of a Kitfox elevator with e-trim.  I can sell the servo - I am going with manual trim tab.

Joey,

      My MAC trim tab servo has 4 mounting holes in a 2 1/2 inch square - the rear two holes are 4 inches from the front of the elevator cutout where the hinge for the tab is located.   I have 3 photos of bare elevator, servo and trim tab, and will edit this and post them later today.  Note:  This is a factory KF1 elevator, not the larger ones that I am building with.   Hope this helps.

      The photos in My Avid Magnum manual would not help you - My Kitfox 4 manual has some drawings, and I can post them later on if you want them.

Joey, the Avid drawings are on the Yahoo site files section.  I don't seem to have any pictures of mine that I can lay my hands on.

It looks like Kitfox puts the servo inside the elevator between ribs, with an access plate on top;  and Avid puts it below the flat elevator with a nice fiberglass cover - I like that cover.

Joey, I have a full size drawing of the MK4 elevator that I used when I upgraded mine. Your welcome to use it if you think it would help.

 

It shows the trim tab on the elevator on the other side of the drawing.
