I don’t get it. Is it not natural pilot nature to trim back against control forces that are pulling the yoke out of your hands in the nose down direction?
It doesn't pull out out of his hands, no. But by the time you recognize that it isn't doing what you want, it may be too late.
For example, I like to see that the airplane is doing. As you go from flaps down to flaps up and as you accelerate, constant trim changes occur. Sometimes I don't trim it out right away because I know after acceleration height, the trim required to go from flaps 5 to zero will be cancelled out somewhat by the trim required to go from 180-250. And I like to see what the speed trim is going to do. So no, I'm not always in perfect trim.
