I just weighed my electric trim and tailwheel on a commercial scale (The bolt scale at Tractor supply).
Here are the numbers. What are the implications for weight and balance/flying characteristics?
The Gold standard for Super Cub type aircraft is the Scott 3200 and leaf spring. Total Weight
10lbs and 9 ounces.
Stinger titanium spring and ACS double fork tailwheel including bracket 6lbs 11 ounces
Standard cable trim total weight of all parts 2lbs 3.5 ounces (Not counting any parts common to
both systems)
Electric motor trim from photo including switch and wire 1lb 8 ounces.
Overall weight saving of 4lb 9 ounces
