Default RE: Big servo for use in Elevator Trim Tab Ultralight Airplane

ORIGINAL: dirtybird

Using a servo to set the trim tab is not a new application. I saw one installed on a homebuilt more than 20 years ago.
Take a look at Servo City (Google for URL). They have many special servos that could be used for this. I am considering one to use to apply the brakes on my towed vehicle from my motor home.

What you saw 20 years ago means what ?
Simply a half baked solution then and it still is .
