Hey Scotty....

I checked my POH today and from Section 2 - Systems, page 2-14, the following is exactly as quoted in the POH.



WING FLAP-ELEVATOR TAB INTERCONNECT SYSTEM

"The wing flap system is mechanically interconnected with the elevator trim tab system to automatically eliminate excessive nose-up trim while the wing flaps are being retracted.

With the flaps retracted, the trim control wheel can be rotated in one direction until the trim position indicator reaches the NOSE DN position, or in the opposite direction until it reaches the lower half of the TAKE-OFF range marking for nose-up trim. As the flaps are extended, additional nose-up trim beyond the TAKE-OFF range can be utilized. Maximum nose-up trim is available when the flaps are fully extended. As the flaps are retracted, the interconnect will automatically rotate the trim back to the TAKE-OFF range."



Check your POH and see if you can find any reference to this system. What year and model do you have?
