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..

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.
