Angier,

Yes I have the Ray Allen trim system and speed control for the exact reason you have stated. I also have not had a problem with any of my Ray Allen gear, it is bullet proof.

With the speed control installed I have almost halved my trim rate which seems to work very well in the Legacy.

I agree with John's comments re the TruTrak auto pitch trim, works beautifully.

Regards

Ray Allen speed control works fine – never had an issue.

Obviously not designed to do quite the same thing as directly control the rate of trim servo movement, but auto-pitch control is a good device – I have the Trutrak auto-pitch and that does a great job – never have to retrim in climb, cruise or descent (A/P needs to be on though for this to work). So, disengaging the A/P means you take over with the aircraft nicely in trim.

My elevator trim on at pattern speeds works well but is way too sensitive
at high speed. Ray Allen makes a speed control and I'm curious to know if any of you
have tried it. Any other solutions out there?
