You know of course if you inspect any aircraft control lines or rods (pre fly-by-wire) you'll find mechanical adjustments that can be made.
Cheat - Highly unlikely when then everyone had their own personal plane, and could ask the ground crew adjust it as necessary - also givng a pilot some mechanical advantage over nature's forces.

I'm not sure whether this was generally allowed but it was, and still is possible.
