If elevator and trim tab travel are set according to the Aircraft Specification, then, when the elevator is neutral (faired with the stabilizer) and the trim tab is also neutral (fared with the elevator), it is in the takeoff position.
This information can also be gleaned from the Operation Manual.

Re: Trim Wheel decals
My plane had the pre AD elevator spar cracks when I bought it.
Ended up replacing the elevators with ones with reinforcements/brackets to comply.
I would not be surprised if the IA miss rigged the pointer, he missed the AD @ annual.
Not to single out that individual but the plane was in annual w/cracks when I bought it.
Ownership is so much fun,
Matt

Re: Trim Wheel decals
