As you all know, I even used half a mirror motor from a Mercury side mirror. And it worked fairly well, but I eventually found it slipping. On my first KR, I used the push rod type you are talking about and that is why I went to the electric trim motor. However, I eventually found that you cannot beat quality and reconciled myself that airplanes, even KRs are not supposed to be cheap.
I installed the Ray Allen trim servo using the mount bracket from VANS Aircraft and it works perfectly all the time and I never have to be concerned about it again. I only wish I had done it right the first time. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? See you Oct. 4 and 5, 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il ? MVN Daniel R. Heath -?Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- I am guilty as charged and hang a stupid hat on me. I assumed that since everyone else (or I thought) was using it, it was the right product to use. (Nyrod) I have struggled with this issue since the beginning and just thought " what the heck is wrong with me?because?I cant get it to work and everyone else can? "?
