I had a stuck trim issue today and I can’t figure out what cased it. I have an M20V with G1000NXi. Everything was working fine with the autopilot. On the LPV approach I tried to capture both VNV and GP. It did not want to capture. When I switched the autopilot off on the G1000, the electronic tr...

I am troubleshooting rudder trim on 1990 Bravo. Worked fine on T/O and during flight, but when I tried to neutralize the trim for landing there was no response to panel switch, stuck in almost full left position for descent. My first thought was actuator failure, but the motor is fine. I was able to...

I originally posted this at the end of the thread titled "Trim Jackscrew Binding started by PeytonM a few days ago but I thought it might be more appropriate to create a new topic. I do think my Jackscrew needs some maintenance attention and that topic was full of fantastic information but I'm not...

My M20K has started to develop a trim problem and I'm having a hard time troubleshooting it. When in flight, I will intermittently experience an uncommanded trim up. My first thought was that this was runaway electric trim, but I don't think this is it because turning off the electric trim swit...

Hello, Today I was fortunate to be able to fly my "new" 1975 M20F on my first cross country (in this plane). It was uneventful. Once I got to cruise the altitude of 7500 and trimmed the plane out I set the altitude hold on the S-Tec 30. That was real nice! First time I've ever had a...

I am searching for an electric trim switch for my 1984 M20J. The base of my trim control switch that mounts to the yolk has cracked. I believe this is an OEM switch assembly, but I cannot locate the correct part number to replace it. If anyone knows where I might look for the part number or where I...

1967 M20F, MANUAL TRIM. this is in regards to the trim wheel, what sort of backlash is normal? In other words, if you wiggle the wheel forwards / backwards what sort of slop do you see before movement of the trim actually occurs. i am seeing about 5-10 degrees. i am curious what others are...

I had this functioning elevator (empennage) electric trim system removed from my M20C: Aero Trim Electric Trim System 800ET It was installed by a previous owner in 2000 with a yoke mounted switch. It was made by these folks, but is no longer available: http://www.aerotriminc.com/index.html...

I've had the 92 model M20 J MSE for just about a year now and have flown it for ~120 hours. After various loading configurations I still come back to the same place on the trim indicator for the best take off's transitions. I have time in M20 C's and a few different J models (years) and have notic...

Hello All, (I've posted in the general section as similar trim issues probably apply to all models) Intro... I've had a beautiful '67 F for 4 years based here in the UK. I regularly use the machine for airways trips around Europe in the FL80-160 range, quite frequently between the UK and Ge...

Purchased my M20K/Encore conversion last October. Been loving it ever since. But I've noticed the electric trim has been intermittent a few times, getting worse over time. Really screwed me up on short final the other day, so I had it looked at and it appears the servo has issues. The bad news f...

Hey guys. Just wanted to pass along what I found while searching for my "running out of trim" problem. It would seem there was old, semi-hard grease causing an artificial stop and would not allow the trim to go fully down, or up for that matter. Cleaned very well and re-greased. Trim now w...
