HOO Ray i finally found it.

The trim system i was looking at was for the cozy. but we could use it,
under the seat i am guessing would be the best spot
acting on the torque tube, no steel springs to fail etc, benign failure if
it does brake for some reason.

  here is the method they are using to make the "Spring" sorry there isnt
much detail here

  and go to the bottom.

  I'm sure the cozy boys wont mind sharing one of their mods with us : )

  I remember seeing this trim setup for another airplane and decided to do
the same for the Europa.  I think it was on an RV-6 or 9.  I tried looking
through my URL that I have saved, but could not find it.  I don't think it
would be to hard to set it up.  I'm working on the cockpit module now and
will be installing the aileron push rod in the next couple of weeks.  That
was one of the mods I will be making.  I did not like like the trim out on
the aileron and covered it back up.  I'll sent you some of the pictures as I
start to work on it.
