a Victa Airtourer of the Royal Aero Club of NSW, pupil and instructor on board, had elevator jam in flight. Instructor found he could get enough pitch authority to slightly raise or lower the nose by delicate power changes and by cautious adjustment with the trim lever.
Bit hard using trim in that case Fantome. Trim being springs in the elevator circuit, no tabs out in the breeze.
