The STARS system is easy to inspect through the wing double surface inspection panels in the wing root, the
leading edge inspection zips, the outboard washout rod Velcro panels and the wingtip apertures ( with the tips
removed).
It must be inspected for condition of the actuating cords especially at the pulleys. The cords must route
underneath the inner washout rod cords. Check for condition and security of the pulleys. No lubrication is
required as marine pulleys with delrin ballraces are used.
The STARS bracket above the hang bracket has a rubbing strip which acts on a rubbing strip on the sail
– check
for rubbing/chafing damage.
There are adjustment loops provided in the STARS cords each side of the keel pocket. The cords should be
adjusted to have minimal slack when the trimmer is off. Assymmetric adjustment of the cords can be used for
trimming out a low speed turn (see section 11).
The cords are all dyneema with a polyester braided covering. Those inside the wing are 2mm, the cord at pulley
4 on the keel is 3mm and the cords on the trike must be 4mm.
The electric trim system on the trike is inspected as follows:
The pylon must be folded down to inspect the motor assembly. The fairing must be removed to inspect the
bungee etc.
The electric motor assembly and contacts should be kept protected from prolonged contact with moisture,
otherwise no specific maintenance is required.
The trim cords should be checked for fraying or degradation especially at the winch drum, engine mount guide,
top pulley and end connections. If required it must be replaced with genuine Dyneema 4mm cord, part no. TCL-
001 and TCL-002. Note the top cord is of a fixed length with sewn ends, it must not be shortened by knotting etc.
The 5mm return bungee should provide enough tension to wind the cord neatly onto the winch drum with the trim
cord slack.
The pulley must turn freely and the ball bearing should be given a drop of oil.
Adjustment:
With the control bar held back against the pilot’s stomach, in the fast trim position, the trim cord and bungee
should be just coming under tension. Adjust by removing any slack from the wing cords. Further adjustment is by
pulling the trim cord through the winch spindle and applying a stop knot.
With the trimmer set to the slow position, the trim bungee thimble knot must not be pulled lower than the pylon
fairing spacer. Check the basebar can be pulled fully back against the bungee tension.
At slow trim, the trim bungee should provide a force of 13-16 kg measured at the control frame basebar, with the
basebar against the front strut. If the force is less than 12kg and the slow trim speed is too high ( above 60mph)
then the trim bungee must be replaced with genuine part no. BNG-001.
Display:
The display should indicate from full up to full down, in the correct sense, over the whole range of trim motor
movement. It can be adjusted if necessary by preset potentiometer at the back of the display. Note display
readings may be affected by over or under voltage conditions.
Electrical protection:
The system is protected by a 5A push on/pull off circuit breaker. This should not operate in any normal condition
of use. If it operates, leave for 2 minutes before attempting a reset. If it operates again, the motor system, wiring
and limit switches must be checked. The CB can be manually pulled OFF if required.
Note:

The main charging fuse from the regulator to the battery should be 30A when electric trim is fitted.

The main fuse from the master switch to the main electrical bus should be 20A when electric trim is fitted.
