What exactly happens when the trim is adjusted to point the nose
upward?


What type of plane is this for? I have a Mooney and also fly a 182.
Both trim system are very, very different.


For sake of those of us who only own MSFS, let's say a C172.

Does MSFS emulate the servo tab on the elevator? What does it do when you
change the trim in the air?

Trying to emulate real life trim on a simulation system that uses spring
centered control sticks isn't going to work like real life as you may
already know.

Should I post the spoiler on how a couple other mechanisims work (besides
servo tabs)?
