Abe,

 

What caused the Trim Runaway?

 

Steve Colwell

 

 

I had an incident one time.  I had  a run away condition while at cruise altitude and I really had to fight the forces.  I was not as adept to the system as Josh, but did manage to control the plane.  I would like to mention when I prepared for landing I obviously had to slow the plane down. When I pulled the power back the stick forces got much more manageable.  On the ground, or in hindsight, you'd say:"gesh, dumby--that's obvious." Thinking isn't quite so fluid when it's happening.  So a  thought, if it happens and you forget to pull the breaker, put pulling the power back in the ditty bag of tricks.
