Adding Yoke Trim with KFC 200

[HaldenG]

I have a KFC 200 installed on my 231 but the only yoke switches I have are the trim interrupt and CWS switches.  These two switches are located on the right side of my yoke.  I would like to move those two plus add a trim switch to the left side of my yoke.  Does anyone know what this would entail and where to get the parts?

Call BK.  I talked to them last week and they were nice enough to send me a reference copy of the STC for M20F and M20J.  Even though the guy I talked to initially didn't think there was a trim only system, I found it listed in the STC.

For the F the part number is 200AM20F-29.

For the J the part number is 200AM20J-29.

Both parts  also required installation kits with a part number of 050-1579-07.

They may have something similar for the K.  Of course, start by telling them you have a KFC200 without electric trim and you would like to add the electric trim option and see what they say.

I have electric trim - at least I can see the trim wheel spinning when the autopilot is engaged.  I just don't have a yoke switch to control it.

In that case, definitely call BK, tell them what you have and ask what you need to do to add 'manual electric trim'.

[HaldenG]

You'll have to excuse my ignorance but what is BK?

As with most things aviation have your checkbook ready. The switch alone is around $1500.
