Can't argue with that, :-), but one rationale is that if the electrical sys must
be shut off, you'd still be able to trim. However, for the 914, one fuel pump
needs juice. If you don't even have that, then you do a forced landing with
in worst case the plane trimmed for cruise. Likely won't notice it much!
Nevertheless,
one can wire the trim to whatever is done to guarantee power to one
pump.
