First: Any plane can only be trimmed for one speed. Any change of speed will 
require
adjustment of trim. 

Second: We have anti-TRIM-tabs. Mind the trim part of the description. Without
deflection, the plane has to be at the designed zero trim speed. Any other speed
will require trim, in other words: deflection. 

Third: If the anti-trim-tabs could or would be level, zero, at any speed, you 
would
not need them. It would be quite stupid to invent and add them in the first
place. 

Frans, in your unique case you could save a lot of complicated, potentially 
dangerous,
heavy metal and remove all that stuff. Just fix your trim tabs to neutral
for ever. 

All readers: This is not a seriously intended, potentially dangerous advice. 
Please
discard the idea, i shall not be held responsible!
