REFLECTOR: Pitch trim poll

  I have not contacted him about the sticking unit for a couple  reasons. 
First one being that if I had not accidentally held the left trim  button on the 
stick it would have never happened (and I don't think he can fix  Pilot error 
on my part) The other reason is that his trim actuator uses the  clutch drive 
from a drill. If you keep pounding it in on one of the ends I  can't see how 
he would be able to make more power to get the clutch to overcome  what is 
already locked up. I'm a realist, keep your finger off the button and it  would 
not be a problem. How old I don't know, It came in a box of extra parts  from 
"Shazam's" purchase.

Ken,

how old is your Strong actuator and have you talked to him  about it?
