and a lot less bite, it's reason for being is to finetune for a desired attitude thus unloading the main control surfaces. obviously if say full up elevator is held in and full upward trim more air will be redirected than if down trim had been set. a lot of control surfaces had mass balancers, or extended forward of the surface pivotpoint to counterbalance some of the load applied to them by the air, thus reducing stick load. also i think that in real life you would be suprised at how little surface deflection is actually required produce a pretty severe change of direction, especially as speed increases. trying to bang the stick to the stops at speed would usually just result in a stalled flying surface,a snaproll, or very likely one extremely bent airframe! LOL, can't believe i just spent 5 minutes, and so many words replying to one of raaids posts!!! Craig |

the wiki says
See also: Trim tab its different name for the same thing, a trim tab is servoassisted by the wind force and should have never been delayed by the massive peoples nagging who werent able to handle stick and trim at the same time maybe you see a difference on weather the tabs are controlled by a wheel or the stick but this doesnt change the fact theyre servo assisted

I wouldn't say the effect of a trim tab is minor...
![]() There are many examples of how strongly the smallest surface can affect an airplane. Especially if the physical properties are right (or wrong) meaning structural integrity, weight etc. Keep the p51 crashes in mind as they're good examples for this http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...-crash-6481596 |

Trim tabs are not servoassisted by airflow.

Well, when you trim you are not realy assisted by the wind, because the little surface still has to go on to airflow, but i understand what raaid says, if we know how it works it is logical to think like that. It becomes unmultiplied like in a pulley. But i dont think rotating a weel several turns will be faster than pulling or pushing the column control. Just my opinion, i am not plane expert.

DO THIS EXPERIment:
dive in a 109 and use the stick, its so irresponsive now do the same with the elevator trim, it responds smooth as silk
