... it's always in the same position when trimmed. I looked at it yesterday!
Good info, Bloggsy, very good info.

And the artificial feel? That is a function of the relative positions of the elevator/stab?

What I understand, and would like you to confirm, is that when the elevator and stab are "aligned" (or "neutral") there are no feedback forces. That is, the feedback forces only start when you deflect the elevator away from its "neutral" position with respect to the stab.

This would seem highly logical, and what I'm really after is this confirmation. If confirmed, that would confirm a number of other highly significant things, in relation to trim.
