109 elevator trim

And what about the g-forces the pilot and structure would suffer when going to full up nose trim very quickly in a high speed dive?

I spoke with a Typhoon pilot (Sqn. Leader D.L Stevenson) who told me that he often had to trim nose up quick to recover from high speed dives when attacking with rockets, and that made him nearly black out every time.

There's also a passage in Clostermann's The Big Show when he had to apply a lot of nose-up trim while diving like crazy from high alt chasing a 109, he lost consciousness immediately and when he came back to his senses he had a nosebleed and his radio was useless from the high g's. After landing he saw taht his plane was quite warped...

So I guess that in game whe can quicky apply full trim at high speed we shoild also feel quite some effect on the pilot and airframe.

Surely pilots would adjust trim even in a fight, but generally you apply trim in small amounts, you rarely put full trim at once except if your live is really depending on it, when pulling out of a dive for example...
