Trim sensitivity

Post by Main4ce »

I was explaining to Sniper how I have my Aileron trim set, allowing me to trim between 0.1 to about 2.0 in small steps (to the left)

As pictures speak louder than words, I thought I post a pic of how I have it set. This is set to the "Rudder X Axis" of my X52 Js = the bottom wheel on the throttle... You maybe using the Rudder Y Axis, which is my evelvation trim or top wheel.

This allows me to set a left aileron trim of 0.7 to 1.0 and then rudder set to 1.9 left, this helps to keep the plane in a more or less straight line when climbing to alt. I found that less input was needed and could even leave to grap a beer real quick, without getting way off line :)
