Trimming doesn't change the ability of the horizontal stabilizer to
correct for CG location, etc. It merely adds in an initial deflection
of the elevator so as to make the effort needed by the pilot to move it
is small. Imagine having to hold a constant twenty pounds of elevator
on a cross country .

Also, in real life there is a difference between having the CG too far
forward and not using the trim properly.

I had the weight far enough off that trimming didn't leave me much
elevator travel for maneuvering. That's what made me realize that
something was wrong.
