Default RE: Transmitter?

This trim discussion is good. Let me add.

I agree with RCKen that we should learn to adjust our planes mechanically first, and use the radio trims for fine adjustments only.

However I think Pilot Chad is talking about the fact that digital trims can not be accidentally knocked over during a flight or while handling the radio. I have bumped the mechancial trims on my non-digital trim radios many times causing the plane to go out of balance. This often happens when I am flying with gloves in cold weather. I can't feel that I am hitting the trims and all of a sudden the planes gets "strange". I have learned to look at the trims to see if I bumped them.

So, for that reason I really like digital trims.
