Since you response is very detailed, more than I was expecting, I
should say that I was primarily interested answers about why it is
that setting trim relieves pressure that pilot has to exert on yoke.

I mentioned in response to Geoffrey's post that aircraft under
question could be consider C172, whose trim mechanism is obvious, but
if one were to talk too much about that part which is obvious, then
one might inadvertently give the answer away.

Again, this isn't rocket science, but I suspect that other students,
like I, had misconception of how it might work, even though it is
written in the book how it should work.
