cambodia Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 When I take off on slow trim as soon as the wing is flying one of the trim cams slips to neutral. Also on landing when I set slow trim it slips straight back to neutral on one side.Makes landing a bit more interesting but how do I fix it. Wing only had about 8 hours.

dantheman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 What wing are you on ? The early Revos had weak springs so Paramania sent out stronger replacements FOC to anyone who needed them, you could put stronger springs in yours ?. In the meantime I suggest you squeeze the cam with your fingers to ensure it locks into place, thats what we used to do with the weak springs.

tommcb6016 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am having a similar problem with my revo when pulling the trims in they just slip back through the clamps, I have to put my thumb over the top and pull the clamps closed. I'm in contact with Serge at paramania about it. He has asked me to send him a picture of my risers (to confirm if the springs have been changed I presume?) I have the old style risers.

dantheman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Check the video in this link to see the spring change procedure http://flyparamania.com/index.php?optio ... 19〈=en From memory the replacement springs were .065" thick (bigger than the weaker springs) so you could try measuring yours.

Phil_P Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I saw somewhere that someone who was having a similar problem put some rows of stitches (to bulk up thickness) I think crosswise across the webbing (although might have been along it). Giving the clip a squeeze as you pull back the webbing against the cam, can help lock it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irm750 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have a Revolution 28 and found that the trim springs became loose after only a couple of hours flying. I contacted Paramania who kindly sent a couple of sets of the stronger springs through the post, one set of which I fitted immediately. Nearly 30 flying hours later I have found that the trim adjusters are slipping again (I too had one side slip out by a couple of inches on take-off ). I have fitted the 2nd replacement set of springs but wanted to post here to warn others with the stronger springs to remain vigilant as they are obviously not a permanant solution! I have left an answer phone message with Paramania asking for them to call me back so that I can get some more springs ready for when they fail again but a week later am still awaiting a callback.
