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.
