I've got a fairly basic question, my understanding is that a fundamental concept in aircraft design is that a control surface should never be able to be neutralized let alone over ridden by it's trim tab(s). Yet from some of what I've read on this thread it seems that that it's actually possible with the 737 for the force of the trim tab to exceed the capability of the main control surface?? That makes no sense to me at all...
