There's still an open question on the ergonomics of the control wheel trim switches when the stick shaker is operating. I suspect that the electrical contact has to be maintained for a minimum period (perhaps sub-second) for the relay to begin driving the trim motor. How much pressure is required to sustain the electric contact when stick shaker is operating?
Quite. Could I be boring and again point to the switch 'noise' just on the centreline of the graph. I've always felt it might say far more than is being allotted to it in our discussions but have no knowledge of this graph's validity.
Lionair Upper: manual trim middle: automatic trim
is a tad confusing but blue surely must be thumb switch inputs. If so, where did this microscopic data come from?

It's from spornrad # 4076
