When I first purchased my Futaba T8FG I really, really, did not like the digital trim on any channel. But after a little use and getting use to it it is much better. First is the digital trim stays with each model, no moving the trim lever for each plane. Second the digital has a wider span of use, if needed. I set every plane up so the idle is at zero thus after shutting off with the trim simply return to zero. But after getting even more comfortable with the radio I now have trim kill, choke kill, throttle cut, and on some I even have an opto kill.
