Default RE: Tx question...DIGITAL vs ANALOG trim

I can see that quickly flipping a manual trim lever can be a lot quicker than waiting for the beeps on a digital trim. My XP8103 has the selectible trim sensitivity, but then you lose the resolution if you turn it up and it's at system level so it affects all models.
Therefore, you need to go back into the menu to reduce it again to get back the 'normal' amount of resolution you'd need for fine trimming. In this case, manual trims are definitely better.

One other thing I noticed recently is that the servo end point adjustment or ATV affects the amount of trim you have. If you reduce your control throws by reducing your servos travel to 50% for example, you also reduce the amount of movement that occurs when you use the trims. I discovered this after running out of trim movement for the ailerons on my Tiger Moth. I don't know if this also applies to manual trims.
