As another general rule, you usually don't have a trimmable stabilizer and a manual elevator system. (Because trimmable stabs become most useful, as mentioned somewhere up above, for the transonic/high subsonic case, and those aircraft typically have powered flight controls)
Except on aircraft like the J-3 Piper Cub and its relatives.
