I've decided I would like to have an elevator trim and am curious what other 's are using out there.
I figured a simple Bowden cable, operating a simple tab would suffice. What about electric trims? Anybody using a model airplane servo?

The simplest elevator trim is a piece of bungee cord tied on both ends to the seat truss and wrapping around the joystick. Pull the cord higher up on the joystick for more up elevator. Jim Chuk
Thanks Jim, That sounds like a good plan. I'll give it a try.

I am using a trim kit from Aeroconversions: http://www.aeroconversions.com/products/trim/index.html
Sorry did not take pictures and it is under the seat

Yes I have, It is much more sable than using the flap handle as trim. My only complaint is that it still holds the stick up when shut off making more difficult to get my right foot over when getting in or out.
