Trim Servo cont.

Today we made some adjustments to the connection between the servo motor and the trim tab to get it working with the right range of motion. We get about 30 degrees of motion in one direction, and 40 in the other which is plenty.  The stainless steel connecting rod was shortened, and we drilled a new 1/8 hole in the connecting tab at a spot that was a little lower than the original hole to get more motion.  We also reshaped the connecting tab  to eliminate any interference with the attaching clevis. Below was a test of the servo motor using a small 9V battery.  Hours: 2.0
