Andrew I noticed that you posted the same question on Avcanada. The replies were considerably less polite than those here, but the theme from that thread is IMO absolutely correct. As a 10 hour PPL what to do in the event of a jammed control is the wrong thing to be worrying about. The beginning of the PPL is where you learn the foundation skills and knowledge which you will use for every part of your future flying. Without first learning those you will not understand the the concepts and have the skills to actually deal with jammed controls.

In 24 + years of flying instruction I have never met a 10 hour PPL who could describe the workings of every system in the aircraft and tell me what the correct actions required for a failure of those systems and why the actions in the POH emergency procedures are carried out. That is what you should be studying with respect to emergencies, not obsessing about extremely rare failures.

Bottom line: Your instructor is, correctly, not answering your questions because they are not relevant to what you need to be learning at this stage of your training.

If you still feel this subject is vital to you I suggest you pm Memphis_Bell, I am sure the 2 of you will get along just fine
