A pusher can give you full stick forward, but as soon as you reach flying speed it will relent and give you normal control with normal trim. So you fly away with a few beads of sweat, and get some tea and bisuits with chiefy. But a stall-trimmer on the forward stop is going to take an age and a half to retrim - even if you recognise what has happened - resulting in salty tea and soggy biscuits with Davey Jones...!
