<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Consider yet another option to solve the runaway
trim problem. It appears that the most likely cause is a sticking switch
on the stick. I like the option selected by Mark Kirchner on his
LIV. Rather than have a rat's net of wiring and interconnect
associated with relays that permit pilot priority over copilot, Mark put in a
simple switch in the middle of the panel. Flip it left and the pilot has
control. Flit it right, and the copilot has control. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Note that with this configuration if you get
runaway trim, you merely switch the trim to the other stick and if the stuck
switch is the cause (most likely) then at least the trim is now adjustable on
the other stick. I chose this option which, as I recall requires a
four pole single throw switch. I also put all the "need to get to
them" breakers (like trim, hydraulic pump, door seal, autopilot and such) on the
lower left side of the panel where they are immediately identifiable and can be
pulled quickly. Other circuit breakers are hidden away but also easily
accessible. </FONT></DIV>
