 When I first flew the Legacy demonstrator, I thought the trim a bit too fast
 at the higher speeds. I, too, resolved to have a two-speed elevator trim.
 
 I figured I would use a relay from either the gear or the flap switch. Well,
 I just got so darned busy with dozens of other "mods" that I never got
 around to this one.
 
 I'm glad that I never got around to it. I agree with Barry. It's just a
 non-issue. I have no need whatsoever for a two-speed trim motor. The
 airplane works just fine with only one speed for the elevator trim motor.
 
 I also fly overhead approaches which means the speed drops all the way from
 200 KIAS to 100 KIAS over a short time period. I have no difficulty
 whatsoever with keeping it trimmed. The same is true as I accelerate on
 takeoff. Again, I have no trouble keeping it trimmed. I never get behind as
 the motor speed is more than adequate.
 
 I wouldn't bother with it. Spend your building time on something else.
