Trim !!! Argh!!

[Talisman]

Hi Foot Soldier,

My joystick is a Saitek evo force FF. I use my PC keyboard up/down arrow keys for nose up/down trim and the adjacent left/right keys for rudder yaw trim. I tap the keys, but I suspect holding them down would work too. I particularly like the Spitfire nose trim up/down indicator instrument on lower left hand side of the instrument panel. It is very useful; I wish the Hurricane had one too as I fly old Humpy more than the Spit. I count the taps in my head for nose up/down trim as I find it helps me get used to how much trim to use. I also feel the effect on the ac and check the associated instruments to try and get it all settled. Good luck.

Happy landings,

Talisman

Hurri has a trim indicator too-

look down on lhs behind trim wheel (zoom in might help at first) . there's a metal 'bracket with graduated markings on it



the centre piece in this bracket slides left for 'up' trim and right for 'down' trim
