“How much muscle power does it take to pull back the yoke if the trim tab is set to nose down? Seems to me my arms would NEVER get tired.”

The aircraft apparently was in control, and it thought it was right. You can’t win that argument.

What does that mean? There is no yoke? You can't pull the nose up? SEL pilots want to know.

The area under control of the Trim Stabilizer is a lot larger than the area for elevator control (from the pilot’s ‘stick’ or wheel).

GUESS which one wins?
