Pete,
Did you try trim all the way up?

So after reading that very strange European accident report which attributed
cause to the full down trim and stick forces, i decided to give it a try.
Conclusion: balderdash.
My classic has a typical slight rear of center CG, trim indicator calibrated
to read center when the trim is in line with the fuse-tailplane-moulding, and
typically take off with 2.5 lines down trim on the indicator.
I flew 1.2hrs, including 2 circuits, from startup to shutdown at full down
trim without issue. Sure the feel/pressure is off, but nothing of major
concern.
Surely not anything startling.
Sure, every plane flys differently, but i still cannot understand that
reports
conclusions. Fuel starvation on a steep climb-out appears to me to be the
more reasonable conclusion.
FWIW YMMV etc.
Cheers,
