Trim tab Electric and no power

I think I have decided to go for electric trim tabs for my RV9A. If you have a complete electrical failure or a short in the wiring how hard is it to overcome the elevator when you come in to land? If it happens on the ground you'll get it fixed first, but in the air is a different matter. The C172 that I flight now is not that difficult to fly or land without using the trim. Would the 9A require more pressure on the stick than a C172?
Thanks

The RV-9A has MUCH lighter controls than a Cessna. Max trim tab deflection is easily overcome in flight. Not to worry!
