Glad you made it home safe and hope that you are compensated
for the damage to your plane.


The airplane sure wasn't legal for flight with a trim issue like
that. Any extra workload caused by some emergency would distract the
pilot enough that pitch attitude or altitude might get out of hand and
result in a thoroughly ruined day. And a thoroughly irritated
insurance company. Maybe ATC, too.

Not to mention the continuously loaded control linkages, yoke, etc...IMHO bad idea to fly the plane...
