On a certified aircraft, it is always able to adjust trim, even with the breaker out. Haven't seen this on any Cozy unit. This is an old obsolete concern that I wrote about to you and the group Oct. 04, '97, and then again mentioned to the group Oct. 24, '97, May 03, '98, and Aug. 27, '99, so should be in the archive's. I helped Todd Morgan come up with an extremely simple answer to this issue. The following is part of my old post: "The electric trim system in Todd Morgan's '95 Oshkosh Grand Champion Cozy III is connected into the original mechanical trim system and is easily disconnected via a pit pin by the pilots leg if the electric actuator fails, or you've lost all electrical power (both the alternator and battery). He, also, won the Stan Ditzke Award for Safety that year at Oshkosh with this system electrically connected to our Stick Grips." Infinity's Forever ( http://www.flash.net/~infaero ), JD
