That double blip of the thumb switches. The big question seems to be, why didn't he continue trimming? I know of no circuitry which will do this, but what happens to that Stab input if it is already exceeding some load limit? i.e., could there be an electrical current limit that clips the power to the Stab motor/clutches if the motor is taking current commensurate with torque that's too high?
