Rotation

You're saying the yoke moves on its own?


In an actual aircraft, yes -- in a manner of speaking. At a point on the
takeoff roll prior to actual takeoff, the elevator (or stabilator) starts
to "fly"when it acquires enough airflow to force a response. When that
happens, the yoke will move from wherever it was (usually full down in small
planes with manual controls) to whatever position is defined as neutral for
that particular speed, as determined by the trim tab setting.
