Joel Graber designed and posted a circuit on VansAirforce that controls a trim servo motor using

Ray Allen G205 SPDT stick grip switches mounted on pilot and copilot control sticks.

No relays are required.  A PDF version can be download:

Joel Graber has used this circuit in his RV-10 for over 600hrs.

In case of a runaway trim caused by a stuck switch or suicidal copilot, the opposite direction

button can be pressed and held until the fuse or breaker can be pulled.

I do not know if anyone else has thought of this wiring scheme before or not,

but I thought it both simple and ingenious.  Even the Ray Allen company thinks that relays

must be used for 2 control sticks.
