Any mention of pilot incapacitation? The data just doesn't make sense, even with a runaway trim, (which I can't see in the data) the aircraft should still be easily controllable by a pilot of his abilities. And from what I have heard, the RV12 is typical of a vans, well balanced light and harmonised controls. Even a tecnam with stabilator, and anti servo trim is manageable with runaway full up trim, have experienced it twice, wouldn't want to fly 4 hours with it though, but very manageable.
