DXB Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 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 My info and documentation on it is scant, but there does appear to have been a 337 filed for it. It's a pretty basic unit. At my prebuy the MSC mechanic commented that he rarely sees these still working, but mine worked ok until removal. I took it out because it was hooked to the avionics master and made the trim wheel hard to turn by hand with it on and impossible to turn with it off. I figured it was just a matter of time before the thing failed and froze my trim wheel, which is easy enough to manage without it. Anyway, I offer it for the price of shipping in case there's anyone out there who might need parts to fix theirs - I doubt it's worth installing if you don't already have one. Quote

MB65E Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I have the same one. Docs are sparse,and it is Hard to move the wheel due to the reduction gear drive in the motor. However, inflight it works great! I'd be interested in a spare motor and gear set should mine fail. -Matt Quote
