Default 8103 Opinions

I have a 8103 Heli Digital Trim and I like it.....except I was pretty mad to discover that the trims for the flight surfaces (collective, cyclic & tail rotor in this case) do not 'include' when the throttle hold switch is operated. This means in helicopterese that when the throttle hold is operated for an autorotation that the heli will be major out of trim if you have forgotten to match them manually.
For heli pilots this is a major pain.....I would have thought that when upgrading this transmitter to digital trims that JR would have made this feature available.....it is one of the major advantages of digital/electronic trim on the better transmitters.
If anyone knows a secret way of doing this please let me know!
Cheers
Dave
