If your trim is as biased towards nose down as you say, a runaway trim could be disastrous at speed. There was some discussion about this on the List some time ago. You might want to try it at a safe height to see if you can hold the nose up against full nose down trim. WIth your setup, I doubt it. I am incorporating a safety switch on my stick, so that the trim switch is dead unless the safety switch is pressed simultaneously; it was set up like that on the Canberra for just this reason after a series of aircraft had flown into the ground. Trim runaways can be lethal. Jerry Fisher ------=_NextPart_000_0022_01C4EF69.83E14680 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
