Basic Airplane Class: 5.90 “Trim”

Trim: (Six choices). On, Off, Ail, Ele, Thr, Rud. Selection determines which trimmer value, if any, is added to the input source. Can be used to set up “cross trims” that allow a free finger or thumb to adjust in-flight trim for a difficult initial flight, such as using a left thumb to trim elevator and aileron via left stick trimmers while the pilot controls elevator and aileron with his right hand. The Off choice adds no stick trim to that stick if that is useful for other set up combinations.  We’re configuring the Ail stick input at the moment, so we choose ON to include the Ail trim – a standard set up. 

Note:  The choice to include Trim appears in both the Inputs screen and the Mixer screen.  In order for Trim to be passed to the servos, it must be enabled in both the Inputs screen and in the Mixer screen.
