One peculiarity I have not resolved in our -14A is the takeoff pitch trim indication on the Skyview display. Am curious if others have seen the same thing.
As in most airplanes there is a lot more nose up trim tab movement than nose down. To set the Skyview takeoff pitch trim indication one first calibrates the trim servo at both extremes. Then you visually set the tab where you want it for takeoff. One button push later on Skyview establishes a green line to show that position on the display.
I have the longer trim tab pushrod connecting servo to tab and my desired takeoff tab position is very near neutral -- almost in plane with the elevator. But this position is not very far from full nose down trim. It all works fine but looks strange when I set takeoff trim at what appears to be full nose down but isn't.
Have any other Skyview -14 owners run into this?
