Intermittent Electric Trim Actuator

Thanks Dan for the update on this issue. Hope your info will save others down time and some money also.

No problem. Wanted to add that if people are willing to tolerate a momentary contact toggle switch rather than the more convenient rocker switch, you can get a mil spec switch with the same wiring. The Aircraft Spruce part number is MS35059-27

Giving this another bump and another update for those with the Skystar grey colored trim switch. I went flying two days ago and the electric trim only worked one way. No biggie, drop the flaps to 1/2 and the plane was trimmed nicely. Landed and back at the hanger things worked again. I had bought a new switch and bezel from Kitfox a few months back and swapped the old for the new. Afterwards I disassembled the old switch and found a bunch of debris in the housing and a bit of arcing. My advice to anybody running the old type, gray colored switch is to swap in a new switch of your choice.
