think about your take off roll
to gain speed what do you do? open the throttle sound familiar?
to leave the ground, you.....wait for it.....pull back on stick....
Mr Angry, just for you, I'll repeat the salient part of a sentence:

in a plane, for example a PA28, TRIMMED FOR STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT what happens if I change the setting of throttle or elevator trim - note the bit in italics?

I am NOT talking about take off roll, I am talking about a plane in flight, established straight and level and I make a change to either the elevator or the throttle, what is the outcome to the plane, which, as you hopefully now understand, is a totally different kettle of fish than on a take off roll.
