controls damaged yet trim works

[Sauf]

I think its a feature, I lost elevators from a flak hit on the SYN server bout 3 weeks ago in a 109 and managed to make it back to France using the trim but yesterday got shot up by a spit and it didnt work at all. I put it down to trim being controlled by a secondry cable(?) to the stick and the spit damaging both, could be wrong but that was my take on it. Maybe Kurfurst or someone can shed some more light on the actual control setups in the 109/110.
