Hi Kingsley,     

I am not an instrumentation expert, but my conclusion is that the       switch on my panel is a "DPDT ON/OFF/ON (MOMENTARY) 6 PIN TOGGLE       SWITCH". If you poke around on the web, I think you can find one.       An example is at

Cheers, John

Thank you for sharing this one John, an excellent solution IMHO.



Please don't go to any trouble but if you happen to know the Part No of 

the switch I would be interested to know thanks.

		  I have watched the thread regarding runaway elevator trim with 

interest. My panel was built by Aerotronics in Billings, Montana 

(http://www.aerotronics.com/) and I have flown for over 1,000 hours 

without any trim issues. However, the photo and sketch diagram below 

show a trim cutout switch which Aerotronics included in my panel and 

this may be of interest to Europa owners. The switch is 3 position :-



  * Up = NORMAL

  * Center = OFF

  * Down (momentary spring loaded) = EMERGENCY REVERSE

John,



Thank you for the info below and my apologies for not responding earlier.



I will try to source one over here as the postage from the 'States' is 

over the top nowadays.  It was once very reasonable and quick but alas, 

those days have gone!



Best

Kingsley
