Default RE: Subtrim? What is it?


ORIGINAL: goirish

Got page 5. What is the trim for one the tx--not the one beside the sticks. Page 13--isn't that the same thing as sub-trim?
Nope, that just shows the position of your "regular" trim. This should be at "0" before you start to set up your plane. Then do the maiden and trim as needed. This will then give you a digital "number" for the amount of trim you have given the plane. Adjust pushrod lengths or linkages so that you can return these numbers to "0" in cruise configuration. It doesn't have to be perfect but the closer you get, the more trim you will have available if you NEED it in flight. This is why you always start at "0" for a maiden.
