I've just made the cover plate with the electric trim servo attached. To the servo I attached the properly fabricated trim actuator arm using the correct hardware.
How still should the movement be at the servo end of the arm? Mine has friction but will rotate without a lot of torque - but it isn't free either.
I suppose no slop is better than looseness, but I wonder how tight is too tight?
Can anyone describe the right amount of friction here? Is a lubricant in the joint needed and if so what kind?
Also, is there a picture of what the retaining pin should look like when the two leafs are spread?
