Do Mooneys have electric trim? Been so long since I flew one I can't remember. I do remember they can be quite a handful if you are not a couple of steps ahead of them.
Yes - normally. However the last several times I flew one of the Aero club ones they had been disconnected and I queried it. Apparently the maintenance on them was becoming an issue so they were all disabled.
Makes for very busy work on final-touchdown-takoff as you work the trim wheel manually because, as you may recall the position of it, although accessible for manual operation it isn't the easiest.
