Empennage options (Read 3231 times)

Robert_Cresswell YaBB Newbies Why not describe your RV construction experience? Posts: 6	Empennage options 01.11.2010 at 22:14:46 I would like to put a auto pilot on my RV8 in the end. Should I take the electric trim option for this. If this has no effect has anybody got advice on electric verses manual trim cheers Robert

It can be incorporated into the stick top, no long vernier drives with aded weight etc. All same on 8 Would highly recommend. Ordered my 8 with electric trim.
