I am not quite as dark ages as Sam and not as modern as Jerry.  I do like having direct manual/mechanical control of my reflexor.  I make adjustments at various times in flight. I also have electrically controlled elevator trim.

I use both elevator and reflexor in flight to find a sweet spot for cruise and for approach and landing. To each his own.

This has been said before, but you need to be able to fly and land the airplane when your trim fails. My reflexor is much more powerful affecting the pitch of the airplane, than is the elevator trim, so if my electric elevator trim fails, I still have full stick deflection, and I could also set the reflexor manually to help compensate, I only would have the discomfort of pushing or pulling against the elevator trim springs. If the reflexor went full deflection, as in a runaway servo, I am not sure I could override with elevator, and that would be bad. Thus, my choice of manual (reflexor) and electric (elevator) trim.

BTW, I flew for about a year with no elevator trim device, then I designed a one-off mechanism and added it, just to amuse David Dall 😉
