I'm pretty sure the flaps are a limiting factor for the elevator trim. On the right wingflap on the outboard flaps where the flap cables go to the bellcrank, there is a elevator trim follow-up cable attached to it. This follow-up push-pull control attaches to the elevator trim cable.
I hope this helps.

Pete Somers is an unknown quantity at this point
The nose up trim setting is limited to just the other side of the takeoff band, but when the flap is selected down the trim can be moved more nose up, this is the same in manual or electric trim, standard on the Skymaster.

skymstr02, give Airwich Avionics a call www.airwich.com for a motor or even a servo.

I found that the inspection panel near the flaps requires a short screw to attach. If you put a longer screw in that location (like all the other inspection panel screws) the tube will contact the screw and make all kinds of problems. Make sure you use the short screw when re-attaching the inspection cover.
