Tom,
I went with the Gretz relocated electric trim from day one. Control is on a hat
switch on the stick grip. During my initial transition training, I practiced
controlling the elevator with the trim in the opposite direction (probably ought
to practice that again as it was quite a while ago).
My only disappointment has been the little displays - I've had to replace them
a couple of time as one of the internal LED's quit.
No other issues,
Ralph
