    Bryan,
    How many hours on the trim jack screw at failure?

    I was actually considering electric trim tab not manual.

    It had about 400 hours, but way over a thousand landings and it was 17 years old. No troubles with the replacement.

    Also had mine fail last year , but it was the trim motor failure only , jackscrew was reusable. Luckily was on local flight , would have been a hassle if I was on the road. About 900 hours , 17 years, so no complaints. Bruce N199CL
