That's what I've been trying, but I don't seem to be very good at it.
I'll continue to practice.

Mx you are playing a computer game and not playing it very well from the
sound of it. If you want it to be more than a game for you go find one of
many books that are out there for private pilot ground school.

Mike,

Because it is a tradeoff of cost, complexity and perhaps weight.


But many do have that. The (older?) Mooneys even move the entire tail,
IIRC.

I have never seen a piston airplane with the system seen on jets. On jets,
the entire horizontal stabilizer is moved with a jackscrew (trim) and the
elevator is in the same plane as the horizontal stabilizer at any cg or
speed. On a piston GA airplane with a stabilator, there is a trim tab on
the stabilator which is not in the same plane as the stabilator except at
one, unique trim setting.

Ever see a Piper J-3 Cub ?

I have, but have not noticed if it had a trimable stabilizer with a
elevator. From your message, I assume that it does?

What you're describing is the stall warning and the natural tendency of
any aircraft in a stall to pitch down.

OK, the stall warning I can understand, but other aircraft don't pitch
down abruptly like that.

I'm not a simmer but try pulling the left throttle to idle, right throttle
wide open and then stall it :-)

And the early Cessna 182 does also.

I got the impression from Bob's post that, in the case he describes, you are
(effectively) always trimmed.

If this is the case, then what "pressure" are you releasing?

Is this going to cause some sort of sim catastrophe?

No, just an exciting ride :-)
