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?
