I sometimes wonder if my fellow pilots understand this.

If, for whatever reason, that THS is out of place- so are you.

And you will remain in a world of **** until it's back where it needs to be.

Having said that, I think this is another badly handled GA.

If it turns out to be so, I don't think many will be surprised.
Not really true. Even with total hydraulic failure it's possible to control the aircraft with a stab trim out by more than 23 turns. Ask me how I know.
