Default Dual Trim Switches?

(Another question: 13 fuel drains? What were they thinking??? But I
am pretty sure the answer is "the lawyers designed that part, not the
engineers.")


Cessna was offered the Monarch fuel tanks when the went back into
production. But, according to Bill Barton, Cessna never even acknowledged
the offer.

There are 13 drains because they NEED them. The Monarchs need only one, ALL
water is drainable, and they never leak. Cessna has particularly poor fuel
tank engineering.

You should always test the trim switches according to the POH to prevent
runaway trim.
