Question:  Is there an easy way to connect a  relay (up near the trim 
actuator) where it is easy to get to the wire  leads?  My logic says “yes” … but  I 
want to hear from those who have  retrofitted/


It is a piece of cake.  Your hat switch can operate the relay/s from  it's 
existing output (either + or -).  The relay could even be velcroed in  place on 
top of the canard with a two pin connector to connect the hat switch to  the 
relay for canard removal.  There are a bizillion ways to do it.  I  don't think 
this is a "retro fit" as common wiring practices should dictate if  the load 
requires a relay or not.  I don't think that any hat switch has  the 
rating/load cycles that will handle the job in the long run.  I don't  have it on hand, 
but there is a "braking" relay diagram around for the pitch  trim that stops 
the over run that should spell it out for you.  Maybe  someone else could 
provide it as it has been posted before.
