This indicates that the horizontal stab tail areas have increased in latter variants of the 737, approx 29 up to 33 sq m.
What effect might this have on the ability to move the stab with the manual trim wheel.
My question on one of the other threads might fit well here. 47' 1" and 33 sq m is a vast flying surface to screw from the wrong side. It's so instinctively wrong that I assume there must be a good reason it's hinged at the rear.

It's not good enough to cry that it's been flying for so long it must be okay. There's Toronto for a start, and if anything spells how difficult it is to unload the surface, that flight spells it out.
