Reno P51
Just saw on the news a picture of the P51 in question. It shows part of the trim tab broken off and holding on by a thread at a right angle to the elevator.
It has me wondering if trim tabs would, if they detached, cause an uncontrollable aircraft? At some of the speeds the Reno birds do I wouldn't be suprised if the forces acting on the surfaces to be almost beyond a pilots strength in such an emergency.
