Trim Memory
Hi Anne-Marie:
I'm new to this computer radio stuff, and am having a problem understanding how the trim memory function works. Right now, I only have one model on my transmitter, and have flown the aircraft, and got it all trimmed out. How do I save the trims in memory?

Dennis,
This depends on hte radio. By the way you've asked the quetsion, i'm guessing you have a 6X. Assuming you do...
when you are done flying,
with the transmitter still on
go to trim memory screen
move ALL trims you DO NOT want to save to center (if you don't put ht throttle trim to center onw you will memorize how ever much trim you hvae in the throttle right now)
store the trims as described in the manual, pushing the desired buttons (sorry no 6X in my hands)
move the trim sliders back to center.
now you can see little arrows above or below the channels who have a trim position stored.
you MUST put the sliders back to center and NOT do the accept command a second time in the flown position or you will double the trim stored!
If this doesn't help, or if you have a different radio, please provide more details.
the 8U, 9C and 9Z have no need to memorize the trims -- digital trims remember the trim position for each model automatically and don't need to be moved.
WELCOME to computer radios and happy flying!

Thanks, Anne - Marie. I am still a little confused though, as the manual says that I should hear a beep-beep sound after pushing both data input keys together.
I have never heard my transmitter beep at me at all! When I didn't hear the beep, I thought that I haven't saved it, so tried again and still no beep!
Is there a way to see if the beep is working?
Thanks in advance.

Dennis,
The 6X does beep periodically but if you've never heard it, its possible the beeper is bad or perhaps might be at a tone you have trouble hearing? (some people do)
Once you do the save, then slide the trimmers to center, the arrows will still show above or below on the channels where you added trim. If your sliders were centered and you pressed store again it would have no effect.
