dan nephin Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I had the gfc 500 installed in my 231 and now the trim switch is intermittent when using it to trim for takeoff. does anyone have an exploded view of this switch? I’ve searched the downloads and found that it is a combination of 3 micro switches and would like to get deeper into this before going to the avionics shop. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you email a pic to bobweber@webairconsulting.com the bar on top is intriguing, sounds like a Century switch.

dan nephin Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Many thanks to carusoam and bob Weber for their help so far. I plan to get to the hangar tomorrow and get a pic of the switch. Reading further on the trim switch thread I found that I may be able to adjust it, so that will be the next step happy thanksgiving! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
