    Default Stabilizer trim jack-screw and motor.

    One of the things that I didn't get with the series 5 kit I purchased is the electric jack-screw. Does anyone know of a suitable substitute I could research? Or, if you know whether the current series has the same type of trim system as the 5 ?

    I think they are the same. It's best to call the factory, Deb McBean will have the answer for you.

    I would keep looking in the build manual. They have the complete manual online.

    I have the builders manual for my series seven and it does not have those pages, hopefully john will send them to me as the link is copyrighted and not able to print pages. I really do appreciate your help..

    In-cockpit trim indication is an option available from Kitfox.

    If you look here http://www.kitfoxaircraft.com/images...-rev7-7-17.pdf on page seventeen of their catalog, you will find the trim kit mentioned.
