Hi Junkie,

As a matter of interest, what wing is it on your foto with the electrical trim? Can this system also be used on other wings?

Regards,
Arnulf

Thats the std Mainair Alpha 2 wing. Not likely to fit other machines.

We have fitted actuators to following trikes/wing combos
Windlass - Std wings
Aquilla - Aquilla 2
Airborne - Std wing
Aerotike - Cosmos & Aeros wings
Raptor - Std wings
DTA - Aeros wings

Also seen them on Poisk trikes

Oh - the trim on the GT450 is SO simple!

Can you limit the travel on the hang-piont adjusters to prevent you accidently making the wing unflyable?

And lets say you have the wing in fast cruise mode (far forward for arguements sake) and have the adjuster fail on you, what implcations does that have on landing? And would it be dangerous to forget the wing in the fast position and try land without realising?
