REFLECTOR: Pitch trim poll

[KMis178813 at aol.com]

Sorry I can't help you with the pitch trim but I do have a Strong Aileron  
trim installed. Recently I had a (pilot induced) runaway trim. The Strong system 
 got stuck in a full left aileron trim. When I installed this system I did  
confirm that in the event of a runaway the system could be overcome for normal  
(tired arm) flight. The strong system can get stuck at the ends and not come  
back, at least the one I have. Tried to stick the system again and I  can't 
reenact it on the ground. Other than that it works great, just a  little bug to 
work out. Moral of the story, Be careful when using a non  standard system 
that in the event of a runaway you can still overcome the  trim.

I would also be interested in hearing from those  who are using this product. 
How does it effect the stick forces?

I’m getting ready to install the elevator pitch trim and  heard about the 
Alex Strong pitch trim.

Just wondering what the general consensus is regarding  this versus the 
factory trim mechanism.  
Is there anyone that’s flown with both and can offer a  comparison? 
As for the people flying behind the factory version, are  you happy with it?  
It does seem to open up some room on top of the  canard.
