And about that trim wheel . . . I mean, what about that trim wheel?
Well- simply by pullling hard back on the yoke due to muscle memory while under negative g ( with no effect ) - then all you need to do is lean forward, unlock handle, and with about 20 to 30 lbs force tangential to wheel thruout the full revolution(s) simply crank about 10 turns per degree from near neutral trim while the mountain or cows or sailboats are getting bigger- isn't that what the manual infers when things go fubar. Yeager survived a mixup in 360 degrees of pitch, roll, and yaw- starting at about 60K feet- while with a broken rib. I guess the manual forgot to mention that any ' average' pilot should have been able to do all that by instinct with less than 100 hours in type . ...
