Frankly, I don't know if this will actually work, but I'm giving it the "college try'. Each cylinder is rated for 75 lbs. thrust (though it makes 200 lbs. in overload--I tested it). The cam has a roller follower to reduce friction, but I didn't use nylon bushing on the 'cam shaft'--yet.

Forgot to add: the trim mechanism moves the LU out about two tilt pin holes. I made an alternate "cam follower" to shift the range further out if needed (or visa versa).
