Also prevents accidental open mike as you are flaring to land. Anyone interested in this circuit, email me and I'll fax you a diagram. I also agree with putting a switch on the panel which removes power from the trim servos like Skip Slater did. Those that have the Trim System from Lancair Avionics already have a switch (it is on the indicator itself). All others, it is easy to interrupt the system with a simple switch on the panel.
