Safety Trim
 
Or you can install a Safety Trim like I did: http://www.tcwtech.com/Safety-Trim%20Page.htm

I haven't flown yet but it's working well in the hangar and has some cool features.

After originally building my elevators for electric trim, I changed to manual while building the fuselage. I did so just because I like simple and because I like the idea of not needing electricity to have trim. Having just completed transition training with Mike Seager in his RV-7 with manual trim, I know I made the right decision for me.

The trim knob is located in the perfect spot, is very intuitive, it is super responsive and easy to fine trim but nearly impossible to over trim, and can be reset on a stop and go merely by turning the knob 360 degrees (two quick 180s). Don't even need to look at an indicator.

Just another opinion.
