To all,
Since a runaway trim requires a stuck switch, there
is a way to avoid that ever being an in-flight emergency. My L-IVP has two "trim
enable" switches: one for each control stick. These supply the grounds to the
trim switches in the sticks.
Suppose my pilot trim ran away. All I need to do is
turn of the trim enable for my stick and turn it on for the other. I have a full
set of trims (Yes, a reach) that should work to get me safely on the ground. To
avoid this happening by accident, the trim enable switches are latching
toggles.
