It is conceivable that the Eaton motor assembly knows the position of the stabilizer (although I've seen no evidence of that). It is a lot harder to believe that Boeing would bake flight dynamics decisions (nose up and down limits and their affects on MET and FCC trim commands) into the motor. Do you have any factual basis for speculating that the Eaton motor inhibits MET signals based on stab position?
