EZ Trim fans

I built my unit from the board Steve D had made.  It was fun and easy to do. 
I am flying with the first release of code.  There was quite a learning 
curve to get it adjusted so it flies my Europa.  I have it working nicely 
now.

The two adjustments control duration of servo motor run time and the delay 
between motor runs. The code makes the motor run in the adjusting direction 
then delays and then runes the motor again in the opposite direction half a 
much. ( at least that is how I figure it is working )

I am happy with the sensitivity of the unit. It responds very quickly. I 
have not used it a great deal as yet though.

Just my thought !
