That's interesting. How do you see the trim tab fromm the cockpit?


Umm...you move your head?

On a PA28, the trim tab runs most of the length of the moving tailplane.
Pull the yoke back with your left hand, look over your left shoulder and
move the trim wheel through the extent of its travel with you right hand and
watch what happens.

I've been in Tomahawk and DA-20. I did preflight on DA-20, but didn't
test trim.


Then you didn't do the pre-flight correctly.
