Can't one add mechanical gears so that the trim wheel requires less force to turn but needs to be turned more, without any other visible changes?

- jdsully 7y agoIf there weren’t already 500 of them manufactured that would be feasible. Assuming it could still be adjusted fast enough (which I don’t know).
- dboreham 7y agoIt would presumably be easier to just not have the rogue computer pulling on the control surface the other way? The trim wheel seems like a last ditch mechanism to deal with a malfunctioning hydraulic control system but that's not the problem with the MAX, rather the hydraulics are working fine but being told to do the wrong thing.
