In other words, is it possible to get into a position in which it is impossible to recover, not enough elevator authority due to force required and or inability to retrim the stabilizer manually due to it binding from a combination of speed and forces being applied through the elevator.
As FCEng says in post #1946 you cannot overcome the StabTrim with elevator at high speed.
