The Manual Trim Cable requires a 7/16" hole through the rear spar, which interferes with the Spar Reinforcement bars requiring them to be cut into. This is well known.
In short conversations with factory, it is "suggested" that this has been the case from day 1 and there has never been a "known problem" with weakening the spar at this point as a result. I know a few of you have gone with your own Electric Trim set up's like Randy, but I am really set on the Manual Trim set up as originally designed by Van's
I would like to know those with current flying RV's, how many have Manual Trim and the original cable set up that required the notching of the Spar Reinforcements?
Thanks.
