It was Matt Jackson who accused Leeward of flying with trim, not an opinion of mine.
At 74 yoa, this pilot had just had `~50 square feet of wing chopped off, along with half his ailerons. As far as we know, he had maybe an hour on the airframe.
In this heat, he was cooking, he's passed RareBear, and his trim tab was costing him maybe 2-3 knots. He won't fly trim?
He needs a note from his Mom?
Machinbird. With a selected ejection, you have your spine, erm, organized.
In a hot little P-51, drooling for the gold heat, Mr. Leeward's noggin was ready for 10 g's? It didn't bounce off the plex like the nine ball on a break?
You assume too much, and you question too little.
