In my Legacy I had autotrim installed. I am empirical proof that a runaway
trim condition can happen. Upon attempting to reach Sun-n-Fun this year I was
over flying Chattanooga and I had a progressive runaway trim pitch up
condition. Trim went to the stops. I found the condition managable though I
did have to push forward with heavy input in order to maintain control. OK in
VFR but scary and potentially leathal in IMC on a dicey approach.
