Stephan,
Read Baa Baa blacksheep by Pappy Boyington - a marine pilot in WW2. He used
to drink in the evening wake up with a hang over and then fly. He got bored
of this so he put together an "autopilot" made of rubber bands and string
which enabled him to doze "tapping" the stick from time to time to keep
straight and level...
Is Tony's string something like this (without the hangover)?

Hi Will,
This is my approach as well: Wait and see.
I think Tony Krzyzewski has tested a simple string attachment to the
control-stick in order to trim. According to my memories it worked very
well.

Mike,
Thanks - I think (not sure yet) I am planning to get everything together
and
flying and then, only if necessary fit a trim.

Hey Will,
I'll be interested in people's response as to right or left wing. Many
have
put it on the left so they can have a visual on it. But I think it
should be
on the right to that the smooth portion of the trim tab raises up into
the
airflow as opposed to the left wing where the linkage side of the trim
tab
lowers into the airflow.
As for servo info, mine is an MAC S9 Trim System from Menzimer Aircraft
for
about $180. But their website has expired so you might want to check
Aircraft
Spruce for their RAC Electric Trim Servos. They look identical. There
are
also pix in the Europa Forum from those that have already done it.
Good luck.

Installing the rudder, re enforcing the door sills,
still mulling over the trim motor installation,
and working on hanging the instrument module.
