Hi Craig,
If you shorten the link rod, don=92t you change the geometry of the tab
displacement? I know Bob Harrison did a similar thing, and he hasn=92t
had any problems with the consequence. I will have to take a closer
look, as it is an intricate mechanism, and I take my hat off to Ivan and
co for designing it. How you do that makes me envious. I might get
another link rod and experiment. Scott from Ray Allen is very helpful,
so if I stuff it up I=92m sure he will come to the rescue
Thanks for replying.
Regards
Tony Renshaw

> Well, it seems my Trim Tab Link Rod, TS05 is conflicting with my
plastic forks of the servo, like many others. I think I have to eat
humble pie here. The issue is that the vertical of the two rivets that
hold the insert AN490 HT8P in position, its head is the culprit. It
looks like to me the easiest fix is to take a little of the fork excess
plastic away, but there isn=92t much, and any finer adjustment needs to
be made by removing the offending rivet, and repositioning it. Thats my
current plan, and to that end I=92d like to ask what the length of the
insert is that is within my T bar tube. I am thinking of removing the
offending rivet and repositioning 45 degrees offset. I would like to
double the spacing that exists between the current rivets, in side
elevation, for the placement of the next one, so I have double the metal
since I have half the offset, as the holes from the removed rivet will
have created a wall weakness. Still, there shouldn=92t be a ridiculous
amount of load on these, and the second one is probably more of a
secondary means of attachment, aviation double check anyway.
