even if the nylon drive fails the over speed gov will caputure and allow slighty over max prop rpm. Independent system.
so if the rudder trim was full set to one way to which it looks. Whom put it there, the air raft had previously flown and was not diectly out of maintenance. So some one must know who placed it into gghis postion.
