Default Rotation

Bob,
Can you explain that a little further? I don't see any difference in feel
feedback between a Cessna 182 (trim tab) and 185 (stab trim). Why should
there be a difference?

Trimming is a "feel" thing. You trim to relieve control pressures and
you can't see pressure, you can only feel it.


Except in an airplane where the trim system moves the horizontal
stabilizer instead of a trim tab. In that case, there is no feel
feedback to the yoke. One must release the pressure and see if the
airplane attitude remains where desired.
