Elevator stops
The elevator stops are located at the rear control column and can be
adjusted with a 10 mm open end wrench.
1.2.4
Elevator control circuit free play
With the elevator held fixed in the zero position, the free play at the top of
the control column can be + 2 mm (+ 0.08 in.). Within the automatic
elevator connection there should be no free play noticeable in the zero
position when the elevator is moved at its trailing edge.
Any free play can be reduced by screwing in the adjustment screw on the
automatic connector funnel.
1.2.5
Trim
The trim mechanism should be adjusted so that with full forward (nose
down) trim the control column is pulled by the trim springs into it's
maximum forward position with a force P of approx. 30 N (6.6 lbs.).
The force P is to be measured with a spring balance at the upper end of the
control stick. Read the force, when the stick just starts to move.
The correct adjustment should be verified in flight and corrected if
necessary.
Trimming should be possible up to 200 – 220 km/h (108 - 119 kts.).
Note: If the DG-1000M can be trimmed up to higher speeds it is likely that the
trim is not sufficient in circling flight.
