each turn of the wheel yields a 0.07° change in trim and to change the trim 1°, it takes approximately 14.7 turns of the wheel.
Thanks for cross posting that. So, for every 10 second 2.5 degree nose down incremental trim by MCAS, you need roughly 35 turns of the wheel. Good luck with that while flying at 250kts and 1000ft elevation!? God help any crew placed in that situation.
