Peter.....it is more than you would want for much more than 10 minutes.
Please note I have not been talking about a runaway situation. Just a
rogue relay deck not reversing until reaching the end of the travel.
That has now been rectified by fitting the MARK II relay from Ford Allan
/Menzimer organisation.

Answer:- NO SHORTER WHATEVER. TO LAND FULLY NOSE UP TRIM IT WOULD BE
Extremely difficult on your own ! but power assisted by the passenger
probably ! But the extreme loads are a question over the mechanical
strengths of the linkages ! When I had to go to fully trimmed up to get
the damn relay deck to reverse it was easier to let it go fully nose up
trim and pray the deck would let itself reverse when it got to the end
of travel. Been there done that when Menzimer was insisting my problem
was wiring when in actual fact they eventually discovered that the end
of the travel by the relay masked the actual problem in the relay .
Since I fitted the MARK II relay deck never a problem !!!!!

Question for those who have test flown their Europa.
How far can you shorten the control stick and still comfortably land the
aircraft with the stabilizer stuck at full travel in either direction ,
without being Superman?
