In the 109, the trim is done by using the adjustable stabilizer axis (so it's called in the settings). Personally i adjust stabilizer a lot during the flight, and level flight setting depends on your speed. but around 400kph i find a Stabilizer of 70-75 nose down to be level.

 

If you watch some videos of people with Technochat on, you can see their adjustments as it is called "stabilizer" in the technochat

 

 

Use the stabilizer as assist to pull out of high speed dives when your elevator does not respond well anymore, but don't overdo it, you'll end up looping  Stabilizer effects are a bit delayed, so be gentle with it

I wish Logitech still made the trim wheel, but yes, horizontal stabilizer trim, many planes especially allied ones used tabs on the ends of the elevator flaps, the german design however actually alters the angle of the stabilizer directly, this certainly was the case on the 109, it may vary on other planes though.
