However, with the default settings of the trim tabs (we can't change them, they were built in, little tabs on the trim surfaces, rudder, ailerons that were only adjusted by the ground crews), if you get too slow, it actually starts pulling slightly, the other way.

Trim tabs would not have mattered much anyway... They are only good for certain speeds.

Take note of the slip slide once in a while and adjust with ailerons and rudder slightly, thats all you can do.
