The more relevant question is how far could the pilot have driven the stab with his yoke switch
before they cut out power to the trim motor? Get the stab in the right place first, and no yo-yo maneuver required. The first Lion Air 610 crew and the Captain of the second Lion Air 610 had no problem with opposing the MCAS input with trim. It was only the second Lion Air flight First Officer and the Ethiopian Captain who did not seem to understand that they could still trim with the yoke switch.
