Scotty, just a thought about your trim set up.  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.
