When I did my Fundamentals course (the first one where trim was really brought out as rigorously as it is) one of the exercises we did was to lay on the floor about 1.5m from a wall and show how far up we could see on the wall ..... it's a remarkably long way!!

A bit of a tilt is always an interesting measure To some that's about 5 degrees off the horizontal ... to others it's 45 degrees !!
