An RAF member did this in an ASW-20 and landed safey off airport in a
field using trim and flaps.


How could trim make any difference if the elevator was disconnected?


It works - in theory - if you have a trim tab. I presume that the
ASW-20 does not, though.


It doesn't sound like the sort of theory I want to try in practise.
Thankfully my glider's elevator is self-connecting.
