It's a pity Cat isn't around, he knows about this stuff, so does @Phantom I think. Yoinks ago I did a bit... I think there's more to this than trim tabs, they're not a primary control surface and I can't see them causing an accident particularly since the guy was a recently retired atpl (professional licence holder) for goodness sakes not some recently passed newbie.

Didn't know that. However a P51 is a high performance military plane, a PA 31 is not. Edit, and I just looked it up, it was involved in an air race at low altitude / high speed. Admittedly my experience was in c150/ c152 / c172 with even less performance . I don't know enough to say it wasn't just the trim tabs, simply saying I find it hard to see without some other / additional issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although if you have had that amount of hours under your belt, you would be able to just leave the trim alone and focus just on flying the aeroplane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
