It isn't that hard to overcome the trim on a 172. There are probably
airplanes where this isn't the case, but the 172 isn't one of them.

In theory, it should be possible on any plane. 14 CFR 23.677 (d) says:




Say that to the 130 souls who perished in the B-707 accident on takeoff from
Paris' Orly airport, due to an out-of-trim condition.

The B707 was not certified per 14 CFR 23. (It was most likely certified
under 14 CFR 25 or its predecessor).

I assume the earlier poster's "any plane" before he mentioned meant 14
CFR 23.677 (d) "any plane certified under 14 CFR 23. YMMV.
