Elevator Trim jumping up and down - how to fix?
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:08 pm
Guys,
I've gone through the procedure for calibration of my elevator trim.
I'm using a TCW Safety Trim 1-12V-2SP (2 speed) system. It's wired up per the GRT Horizon HX Trim diagram.
I configured it by going to General Setup / Flap & Trim Calibration (page 1).
1. Put the selector on the NOSE UP box, moved my trim to full nose up. Let the voltage reading stabilize for 5 secs, and then hit SET.
2. Put the selector on the NOSE DN box, moved my trim to full nose down. Let the voltage reading stabilize for 5 secs, and then hit SET.
3. Put the selection on the ELEVATOR mid position box (trim neutral), moved my trim to NEUTRAL. Let the voltage stabilize for 5 secs, and then hit SET.
4. I selected MAIN, then SAVE.
It's working ok...but the triangle Pointer is jumping up and down on the screen just slightly. It's moving up and down by +/- 1/32 of an inch. Any way to resolve this?
I'm currently using a ground power supply unit...so maybe this is the cause with DIRTY voltage coming in?
Thanks, Howard
