My design includes large flaps and a trim adjustable stabilizer. I'd like to be able to automate most of the trim adjustment when the flaps are deployed via a mechanical mixer control. I'm kind'a stumped on how to do it.

I'd like to be able to have the manual trim independent of the flap, but when the flap is moved, I want it to engage the trim. The stabilizer is actuated by standard trim wheel to sproket to chain to cable to chain to sproket to lead screw. Pretty standard. I've searched everywhere and I'm beginning to believe that no one has made a Flap-Stabilizer Trim Mixer, or even a Flap-Elevator Mixer.
