5.4. Digital trims and trim value memory

The purpose of the trims on a radio control transmitter is to adjust the neutral posi-

tion of the controls to ensure that, for example, the model flies in a perfectly

straight line without requiring any help from the pilot.

5.4.1. Digital trims

The COCKPIT

is the first MULTIPLEX transmitter to feature digital trims. This means

that the trims no longer take the form of a slider or lever, but a rocker switch. The

trims are adjusted by pushing the trim rocker in the appropriate direction. Every

time you push the rocker, the trim (neutral position) is altered by one increment, or

step. A beep confirms each step. In the case of the COCKPIT

one trim step equals a

change in the neutral position by 2% of the servo travel (100% per side). The trim

settings are always shown on the screen in the form of four bars on the sides and

bottom of the screen.
