That's exactly what happens.
I'm surprised the Factory has not come up with a solution for this. They've
solved virtually all Velocity's other problems.
Owners of several flying Velocities have told me they never need the electric
trim -- unless the string slips. Thus I'd recommend leaving out the
slip-string mechanism and make the aileron trim either Manually Adjustable or
Ground Adjustable. You'll avoid a lot of hassle.
