This was posted as a possible solution to runaway trim:



"I believe there exists a simple solution for those who are really worried about 

a stuck trim airfoil and would be satisfied with a disconnected trim 

airfoil--explosive 

bolts. "

 

"A less exciting alternative would be to arrange a cotter spring pin so that it 

can be extracted remotely via fishing line or actuating cable from the clevis 

pin that attaches the trim flap arm to the mechanism."

     A potential problem with disconnecting the linkage to a trim tab is 

     catastrophic aerodynamic control surface flutter.
