The higher the speed, the more nose down trim needed. Lose a trim tab that is helping keep the nose down and the plane will shoot upward, causing a high G situation, which could rip the tailwheel out of the uplocks and cause the pilot to G-LOC (black out). There is a lot of good discussion on the Warbird Information Exchange, for those who may like to visit that site.
