Negative!

Trim tabs do not fly the airplane, they HELP fly the airplane!

That said, flying that fast it would be very difficult to fight the forces and control it.

High res video. You can see his parachute deploy from the impact. Ouch.

Seemed a very well fit old man. He was stunt pilot in many movies.

To his memory and my condolences to all families.
