Dave,
The system that you describe is the exact type of system that I have in my
(full-size) Lancair ES for rudder and aileron trim.

I've been wondering for a while - suppose I take a non-force
feedback yoke, and attach a wheel that actually moved the neutral
position by moving the end points of both springs backwards or
forwards, and use this instead of the software trim, would this be a
reasonably realistic approximation of elevator trim (from the pilots
perspective) or not?
Cheers - Dave
