I don't have electric trim, but not long after I bought my plane, it appeared that somehow the "jackscrew" arrangement of the trim down in the center console area had "jumped" a few notches. It...

Will add to my own comments: You said you had the GEM gages. I'm assuming that means you have the types of measurements you mentioned, which would add TIT to what I have. And you may have readings...

Anyway, I'm sending...

I think a large part of the problem, although I don't like it, is that the mechanics are paid so poorly. None of us wants to be paying more in what is already a fairly expensive activity. But a guy...

My '67 Turbo model (not P) required it at the 5000 hour point. So it sounds like only the P's that haven't been doing the low and slow hard stuff are OK for longer than that.

The controller can also cause those kinds of problems.

As for the high altitude surging, at 12K I don't think that is high enough to cause it anyway; plus you said you had it set at 2400 so that...

I'd suggest just springing for a new vertical-card compass. Only $300 with a mount and so much better it makes messing with the old one a waste of time.
