I mean, I don't see the difference between this, and any other transport airplane that meets the stick force per knot requirement naturally without add-on systems. Do you see those as working against the pilot? Maybe your argument is that the 1 pound per 6 knots requirement is too heavy, and it should be, for example, 1 pound per 8 knots (and I might even agree with you!) but that's a different argument entirely... and it would, again, apply the same to any transport airplane.
I have no clue as to pounds pr knots, but I am familiar with trim down when speed increases and trim up when speed decreases. I am not familiar with the trim up when speed increases STS action. You have explained that weird behaviour with just a few words.
So, I will just continue to trim against it, just as as before.
Have a nice weekend!
