But back in the workshop it works properly! So, great in theory but bad in the real world, for me anyway.
I have no problem with the trim buttons, my thumb goes straight to them with no delay, and any big trimming on a maiden flight or setting up different flight modes is handled by auto-trim, not by me pressing the manual trim buttons. Manually trimming a model is so last decade!
