I have not seen any comment regarding the force required to crank manually the trim wheels, those are mechanically connected to the stabilizer therefore to change stabilizer position rotating manually the wheels will require to overcame the load on the stabilizer. It is stupid to think that the forces on stabilizer at those speeds made hard if not impossible to manually change stabilizer position?
