Default Nimbus 2B flaps/trim

On many Schempp-Hirth gliders the trim moves with flap settings - flaps negative moves the trim forward and flaps positive moves the trim back. The advertised idea being that you only set trim once.

I believe the trim lever is mounted on sliding tube on the flaps rod. Possibly corrosion and/or missing lubrication blocks the sliding mechanism causing the interconnection.
