![]() "Le Chaud Lapin" wrote in message news:9483664d-6897-4777-b4d4- Another might say, "Trim wheel is connected to a trim tab on elevator, often located on one side of elevator only, and air moving across elevator results in aerodynamic force vector on tab that acts on elevator to position elevator so that point of equilibrium is reached, and such force being sufficient that you no longer need the yoke to position the elevator. As you can imagine, speed and orientation of aircraft will have some effect on force...and therefore position of elevator. Also, if only one tab, force applies asymetrically to aircraft...etc." I'm glad I wasn't there the day he introduced the radio. |
