I will at the next pilot meeting that Cessna hosts in their
meeting room just south of the Wallace plant on K42. These
are regular CFI meetings jointly with the FAA and Cessna and
other groups.

BTW, the factory instructors can be wrong. Or the person
who reported to you could be wrong. Part of a good
autopilot checkout should include showing that the servos
are not so strong that a pilot can't maintain control. But
that is a demo, the correct procedure is the hand fly, with
or without the FD or use the A/P console to command the
airplane.

Of course if the object is to have a student get an airplane
with the trim 100% wrong...
