One other thing Scotty....with the flaps full down and the trim at the aft position on your trim pointer range, it actually takes more force to manually roll the trim aft for the additional amount available when the flaps are down on my airplane. Obviously, do not force anything, but the force to manually roll the trim the additional amount available aft with the flaps fully extended is definitely higher then rolling the trim through the normal range when the flaps are up. There is more resistance on the trim wheel is what I am trying to say. The level of resistance is high enough that the first time I attempted it after my IA re-rigged the trim system he had to demonstrate for me. I thought I had wheeled in full aft trim with the flaps down but in fact I had not. I hope this makes sense.
