Elevator Trim

[Toologin]

Good morning everyone

I just purchased a 1977 20C RANGER,  I thought this would be an upgrade from the 1963D Mooney that I will be selling.

My 63 Mooney is in great shape, not sure yet about my new purchase. My question I have is that their was an electric elevator trim system installed

however it is not working. When I invested gated the problem I discovered the electric trim motor has been removed. Where can I find information on

an elevator electric trim system?

Thank you

Do you know who made the electric trim?  It may be Century.  If you post a picture of the trim switch there are probably folks here who can tell and give you some guidance.

Is this the stc that has an electric motor that drives the pitch trim wheel?

The airplane is in IL an I am in FL for the winter, I can’t provide any pictures of switches at this time.

Back in 1983 a Brittian B-11 Accutrack was installed. I don’t exactly what that system does except track 

VOR radios which I never use. It will be coming out when I get the Truetrack autopilot installed. 

Nothing in the logs about electric trim.

Thanks

Perhaps it’s listed on the weight & balance and equipment list?

Not sure if this is what you have ? 

Way back I Installed the eclectric (TAIL) trim from aero trim by Norm. 

The web is aerotriminc.com.

Do you use the electric trim system to trim or do you find yourself manually trimming 

I called Aero Trim and left a message 

Thank you

I always use the electric trim for cruise and landing. After landing I manually reset to take off, quicker.

I would be interested in what AeroTrim as to say. Do they even sell the electric trim anymore.

is aero trim still in business?

If you dont find something I have an electric trim from a 201.  It sits in the tailcone and connects to the elevator tube.  Can send photos if interested. Jerry Pressley

Aero-trim is still in business, but they have a much-reduced product line.  The electric elevator trim mod is no longer offered, but I don't know if they still have parts or service for the old ones that are still out there.

Good afternoon 

Thank you for offering to send me a picture of the Trim motor in the tail section,  

You can post it here or email the picture to my email

This would help me trying to find a replacement motor.

Thank you very much for taking the time to produce the

pictures of the trim system. This is very similar to my

Installation . I will pursue the path of trying to find parts

to get mind repaired. 

You have made it possible for me to have a starting point 

thanks
