Here's another approach to setting up the trim controls in a center console
Lancair. I like using two dpdt three position spring center micro switches recessed in the center console where
they are available to either seat. This appeals to me because it's simple, light, cheap, and darn near fool proof.
No relays required. Little if any chance of a runaway. The pitch moves fore and aft and the roll moves left
and right. They can be operated by feel and are ergonomically comfortable. I recess them to minimize accidental
actuation. Some people have a need to have everything possible on the stick grips but some don't. For a couple
hours work and about $10 cash outlay it's a nice simple solution. Works for me. Leighton
