AeroConversions Releases 'Dial-A-Speed' Trim Sytem

Proving that there is no rest for the weary, Sonex Aircraft, LLC has made yet another addition to its rapidly expanding AeroConversions product line. The AeroConversions Trim System is a simple and attractive trim solution for sport aircraft. Through the use of a trim wheel jackscrew assembly, the AeroConversions Trim System offers precise pitch trim control through spring-loaded elevator control bias.

Originally designed for use in the Waiex and Xenos "Y-tail" aircraft, which can not use traditional pitch trim tabs, the AeroConversions Trim System has proven to be a highly-effective trim solution for traditional-tailed sport aircraft as well. Sonex Aircraft staff have unofficially dubbed the new system the "Dial-A-Speed" trim unit. "The reason we have nicknamed it the "Dial-A-Speed" Trim System, is because it offers precise-enough pitch control to actually control airspeed at fixed power settings," explains Sonex Aircraft, LLC General Manager and CEO Jeremy Monnett. "Want to fly a little slower? Turn the knob clockwise and give yourself a little up trim (raising the nose). A little faster? Turn the knob counter-clockwise and lower the nose. We really like this system on approach with full flaps where you can select whatever speed you want to fly at. Just dial it in."

The AeroConversions Trim System uses two springs to put tension on the control stick and "balance it". When you turn the Knob on the Trim unit, you are applying small forward or aft pressure on the stick (Nose Up or Nose Down), applying small elevator pressures. When you find you're flying by holding a bit of back pressure on the stick, give the red knob a turn or two and you'll find you can release the stick and the aircraft will fly right along hands free.

Aggressively priced at $95.00, the AeroConversions Trim System includes all the items needed for a typical installation including cable, springs and hardware. The companion installation manual gives step-by-step instructions for installing the system and is written with enough general information to accommodate installation in a wide range of aircraft.
