Peter, stay on topic, this is a Cessna 206.

Okay, if I said by independent, it is moved by cable connected to a
wheel and not by the yoke or stick, would that satisfy you?


It's not a question of "satisfying" me. But if you're going to ask that
question, then I'd suggest you consider whether there are ANY trim systems
that don't qualify as "independent" under that definition (I assume the
important part of your definition is the "not by the yoke or stick", rather
than the "moved by a cable").

There are, of course -- the Cirrus trim system comes to mind -- but they are
incredibly rare. I don't think that's a very useful definition of
"independent", because it fails to rule out practically all trim systems.
But in any case, if that's the definition you're going to use, you ought to
have been explicit about it, since I don't think most people would
immediately think of that use of the word when it's written.

So what if the original airplane was a 206? Are you trying to say that one
should only interpret the word "independent" as it might apply to the 206?
That the general definition as it might apply to all airplanes is
irrelevant?

Why bother saying that the trim control is "independent" at all then? Why
not just say "it's a 206 trim control"? I mean, as near as I can tell from
what "logic" you've been using, that would say all that needs to be said.

Anyway, it's clear you don't really care whether anyone actually understands
what you write, and like I said, it's not a question of "satisfying" me.
You do what you like, the rest of us will just stand by and watch you make
yourself look dumb.

With all your ranting you're not looking like a shining star either.

Sheesh, I'm sorry I posted anything.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Dale,

Nice job handling your emergency situation! I'm glad it turned out O.K.

Part of the fun here is watching threads get twisted and turned by the
local "experts"

Happy Flying!

Ah, yes...the Usenet variation on the old "takes one to know one" or "I know
you are, but what am I?" retorts.

How clever of you...
