Good trim controllers for trimming?

Buy one L.Bodnar BU0836 (or stripe some basic USB stick), two or three multi turn-pot (like ETI MW22B), knobs and a small box to assemble and you have the best trim device possible.

You can also buy HOTAS setups which include joystick, throttle and rudder pedals if you don't already own a joystick and pedals.

I've got a BU0836 based controller and multi turn pots are definately the way to go.

I've got a 10 turn pot on the elevator trim which alows very precise adjustment.

Unfortunately I've only got a 270 degree pots for the rudder and ailerons. Some times especially in something like the p-51, you feel like your balancing on a barrel, the adjustments are too coarse.

When I get around to it a 3 turn pot will be an investment, pitty they are relatively expensive.

Cheers!
