A runaway trim has been of concern to me and after reading
the article suggested by Rob Logan it even more real. I've
tried to remove the problem by using the trigger finger switch on the Infinity stick grip as an interrupt circuit so that
the trigger switch has to be depressed in order to operate any of the trim servos. In a conversation with Jim Younkin at
Trutrack he also suggested that you should set the max travel on the trims so at full travel they never put the plane in
an uncontrollable attitude. TruTrack also has a product that
will prevent runaway trim while the autopilot is on. If anyone
is interested in the interrupt circuit Kirk Hammersmith was
good enough to provide that for me. I would be interested
in other ideas on how to protect against runaway trim
