Over head trim

[shouldhunt]

Ok building an experimental, got my tail feathers built and thru silver, working on fuselage, and my next question is leaning towards about overhead trim system, and looking for any drawings and or negative comments.

Left door?

I don't care for it in a Super Cub. Stock works fine.

Considered electric? If I had to do over it would be the way I would go.

I've got overhead trim in my Backcountry Cub and like it a lot. Don

Only reason to move it would be if you wanted a Left door and the only reason for that is if your goning to be on floats alot. It is out of the way and works great where Piper put it.

Anybody ever put a cessna style wheel on it instead of the crank handle? (in the left side location)

 

[Dave Calkins]

Both overhead and stock work fine, but I can't see a reason to move it unless I was doing a left door or something.

I've spent time with both and my pure preference would be to have it down low so I don't have to raise my arm over my head. DAVE
