Both these explanations are true, but one of them eliminates the need
for $30 product (or $30,000 aircraft) to know what is going on.
I find that its pretty difficult to teach students to fly without the
aircraft.
That brings us full-circle to a theme that was mildly explored in
another post - what utility, if any, is there in using a simulator to
learn things that do not require actual flying.
So here the question would be whether it is possible to understand how
a trim tab works without ever having flown an aircraft.
I have flown in DA-20 and Tomahawk, but I do not think actual flight
would have been necessary to understand how trim tab works.
Which is an admission that you do not know how trim works.
