Hi:



I found recently aproblem with the trim,, while on a flight, the

trim all by  itself, wen al the way up in one direction.



After I push the buttom, to center needle,,  a few minutes later

did the same thing..



If I recall, is always on the pitch up position...



Any one has had this problem, any suggestions to check or correct it.



this is not good..



does Van's offers a manual trim, for a flying aircraft...that could

be retrofit..?Thanks

Hi Bert,

Yes, Van does (or did) offer a manual trim for the 6 and 6A. Not sure what 

the current situation is. A call to Van's would answer that question.

I have manual trim and am very satisfied.



Regards,

Bert,



      This problem is exactly why we developed Safety-Trim!



      There are a number of issues that can cause a runaway trim condition 

as you have described.   Two of the most common causes are a stuck or 

intermittent trim switch or a stuck, corroded, or intermittent relay that 

drives the trim servo.



    I had a runaway full deflection down trim condition in my Glastar that 

caused me to invent, develop and market Safety-Trim.      Many RV builders 

have adopted our products to prevent this condition from occurring. 

Safety-Trim provides runaway trim prevention by limiting trim actuation to 3 

seconds at a time, additionally, it has a two speed feature that allows the 

trim to move more slowly at high airspeeds and more quickly when the 

airplane is at lower airspeeds.

Safety-Trim is available through our web site,  through Vans Aircraft and 

through Stein Air.



For all the detail on how Safety-Trim works please visit our web site.
