Yes, I have landed at full trim either way during flight testing. It can
be done but you need muscles and to take care.
Unlike may custombuilt aircraft, the Europa is one that has undergone a
full flight test programme and has explored these issues.

Subject: Aileron and elevator trim
Since the Europa elevator trim (or aileron trim if fitted) has no manual
back-up, I am curious as to how controllable the aircraft is with a trim
runaway to the limit stop.
Has anyone ever experienced a trim runaway or uncommanded movement to
the
trim limit (aileron or elevator)?
Can a Europa be safely flown to a landing in that condition?
