As anticipated,
PJ2 never wrote anything like it.
As you don’t seem to realize what’s the function of a trim, if you have a chance, go in a flying club and see by yourself if you are able to apply a full deflection before you feel the urgency to trim.

Trim wheel has priority over the electrical control but does it 'disable autotrim for the duration of the flight' ?
Now, you won’t mind if I ask to back up that one …
