I thought "TRIM" was something one looked for when heading out on a friday night... You know a little trim in that little black dress :p

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Very good explanation, Andy.

Thanks.

So Toad and Andy, do you still disagree that 109 had trimmable elevator assy?

I've also read number of fist hand accounts of 109 pilots using this trim to pull up from dives over 900kmh IAS near ground level. Finnish 109 pilots used high speed dives to disengage from combat so there is quite many sortie descriptions which include trimming out of dive. I don't have here any nice book's to sitate from, but im sure some other finns here can give you your proof if you need that.

Me-109 trim

OK, illo, what's the problem here? Read my previous post. I said the Me-109 had a trimmable horizontal stabilizer.

Or do you have me confused with someone else? Toad too...I don't recall that he weighed in differently on this subject.

Illo:
Andy Bush in earlier in this topic: "The 109 had a trimmable horizontal stabilizer, not elevator."
Which is correct.
