Not sure if this is the best category but what the heck:
My new-to-me RV-7A has electric elevator and aileron trim controlled from a stick switch. There seems to be nothing to turn it off other than the master switch. To me this seems to be not a good idea. In my first plane, I had manual elevator trim. In my second plane I had electric trim with a cutoff switch and a manual wheel. I'm not liking the thought of a short running the elevator trim to the stop with no way to cut it off (other than master switch) if it starts. Thoughts? Thanks.
