What exactly happens when the trim is adjusted to point the

What type of plane is this for? I have a Mooney and also fly a

moved fore and aft by a jackscrew to get the trim action.

Mooneys used to move the WHOLE TAIL, fin and stab and all, to
change the angle of the stab. Do they still make them that way?


You're right, Dan -- through at least the Mooney 201 (M20J) there are
no trim tabs, the entire tail pivots to change the trim.
