Operation Manual

5.4.2. Trim display

The trim settings are shown on the screen in the form of bars:

Trim neutral

1 trim step to the right

4 trim steps to the right

Full trim movement to the right (11 steps)

If you move the trim to maximum trim travel you will hear a beep as a warning,

which differs from the trim step beeps. You will hear a trill to confirm that the trim is

at centre (neutral). (Try it to hear the different sounds!)

5.4.3. Trim memory

A crucial advantage of modern micro-computer radio control systems lies in the fact

that the transmitter can store the optimised trim settings for each model. The ad-

vantage of this facility is that you can be confident that the same trims are set when

you select a particular model memory as when you last used that model. The model

therefore behaves exactly as it did last time out, and you won’t have any nasty sur-

prises. The COCKPIT

features a trim memory, and you, as user, don’t need to con-

cern yourself with it at all. When you switch the transmitter off, the current trim

values are automatically stored. When you switch on again, select the appropriate

model memory (if you have changed models), and you can fly again immediately,

with the trims correctly set automatically.

5.4.4. Trim type (centre trim)

All four trims work on the centre trim principle (exception: see 8.2.3.: throttle trim

type). That means that the end-points of the servo’s travel are unchanged even if

you alter the trim setting, and the same applies if you adjust the servo centre in the

SERVO menu. In contrast to standard trims, you can always exploit the full servo

travel to both sides.
