Yeah, when I first got my new TX I said "Where are the trims?!" I didn't know TXs had digital trims.
I was thinking about plugging in the TX and RX and powering them up so I can set the servos to neutral before screwing in the arms.
That's how you should set them up on the bench. What I like to do is take a couple of craft sticks (fancy term for Popsicle sticks) and a couple of clamps to center the control surface. For instance, on the elevator clamp a craft stick on the top and bottom of the horizontal stabilizer and then clamp the elevator. This will center the control surface. Now turn on the radio, center the trim tab, and place the servo control arm so it's in the center of travel. Use the clevis on the pushrod to adjust the length of the pushrod so that it fits in the the control horn on the control surface. This should get your trims pretty close right off the bat when you go to fly.
Hope this helps

Don't forget to take off all of the sticks and clamps before you attempt to fly. Otherwise you will be way out of balance at the very least.
