Hi! Ian.
I recall a similar experience..... firstly the alignment of all the assembly
is very critical, it must operate in a completely straight line and also
have you shortened the "clevices" which link the motor to the actuating arm
? When the motor works for the full extent it mustn't be heard to change
tone at the end of the stroke , this indicates that it is tending to stall
due to overload.

Subject: Re: trim tab damper assembly
I had very similar problem about two months ago. Nev suggested that
reducing the spring tension by cutting off the back half of the M10 nylock
nut was in order. I have done this and it is a great improvement. I also
found that as the servo motors the damper up and down it vibrates (like
running your nail along a comb). At first I thought it was due to roughness
on the TS01 support bracket but it persists with the bracket well polished
and oiled. It seems to be due to the small gap between the M5-60 bolt and
the hole in the TS04a shaft. I decided I would leave it for now and look at
the problem again when I get close to gluing the top on. I will let you
know
if I learn anything.

Subject: trim tab damper assembly
I have just put together the trim tab (anti servo) damper assembly which
connects to the servo unit. I have no experience of this but it seems very
tight to me. With the end of the drilled bolt only just through the nyloc
nut, I can only just move the damper asembly up and down the slot with my
thumbs. Is this right? I was wondering if the servo unit could handle the
amount of force needed to move it.
