No elevator....
This may sound like a childish question, but then some children asked me! I'm curious too, so here goes.....
If, hypothetically, the elevator cable snapped on a C152, could you continue to maintain control using the trim alone? I guess the answer is yes to the greater degree, due to the fact that the trim tab 'flies' the main surface. I wouldn't relish the thought of a controlled flair though! Would the elevator be a little prone to fluttering due to the lack of damping from the weight o the cables etc?
Thoughts.....
Nish.
