Not enough nose down trim

[Bill3558]

I feel like a need more nose down trim available to me.  Tell me if I’m wrong. With 15 degrees flaps and full nose down trim.anything over 55 knots requires forward pressure. High speed descent with full nose down trim requires forward pressure above 120 knots.

Sounds like you do need more nose down trim. It is a fairly easy adjustment of the two pushrods for the trim tab.

Agreed, I've never lack nose down trim.  I do get close to the end when full flaps and very slow, but never run out

Trim has never been an issue for my CT. I can always trim hands off no matter the flap setting, power setting, or speed. If there is a configuration where this isn't true, I haven't found it yet and probably never want to.

CTSW is different than the CTLS.

A lot of CTSWs have the older full-span anti-servo tab, I'm sure that gives them more trim authority, not sure if the deflection ranges are similar, I'm sure you know.
