Dude, you need to read what you have written, and then correct the statement? "...same as with the NOSE DOWN TRIM on the MAX..." Please, please, please take time to correct what you have put there so it is not misleading.

HINT:
1. an undesired nose up moment can benefit from using bank to avoid excessively high attitude and corresponding low energy state.
2. an undesirable NOSE DOWN TRIM case is compromised further by bank; loading required to raise attitude is higher than wings level case.


Now if you are suggesting inverted flying in yon B73Max, that has a limited shelf life, it is going to get quiet in about 30 seconds as the boost pumps are then above the fuel level.... as is the engine oil pickup, as is the hydraulic feed to the hyd pumps from the reservoir... possibly a good scenario for a B grade movie, hey, like AK261, but add winglets, add coke, as everything goes better with coke, and, yup lets take out the steeple of a baptist church and park the tube in the field in front of the parishioners. If Neil Williams can do it in a Zlin, then, heck let's do that in the Max.

Dunno though, I have enough fun landing a Pitts on its main gear, but at least it isn't the most entertaining single seat bipe to alight on terra firma. A glide approach from the 180 is so much fun in a Pitts, even right side up. Add a 180 roll at 20' and the fun quotient may exceed my bowel watertightness.

just sayin'
