PIK 20 E trimmer fault

[john firth]

something to check.

After trimming  for a high speed run before landing, I was unable to release the trim lever.

Holding a large pull force for roundoutout spoiled the flare and landed hard.

The slot for the trimmer  tapered to the front and the lever  was essentially wedged.

I have always disliked that spring  trimmer which masks the aerodynamic ffeedback,

but the seems to be no easy way to lock it out.
