[NSRCA-discussion] Trim changes

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Bob, 
For that matter, even if the airplane was perfect in all regards, no trim drift, the airframe didn't move a micron, etc., the plane would still need a bit of UP trim on a hot day, compared to on a cool day.
As long as you only need to trim the elevator on a semi-regular basis, then you have time during the free pass. It's when all three trims are out that you are in trouble. (Like the time the time that the kid running the impound messed up all my trims. Couldn't even yell at the little moron 'cause his Dad was the CD! How did we survive before transmitter cases became commonplace.

For that matter, the transmitter could be temp sensitive. However, if that were the case, the other channels would likely be affected as well.

Some servo electronics could be temp sensitive. Measure the elevator on a cold morning then warm it up slowly with a heat gun (carefully) and see if anything moves.
