Thick8 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Just bumping it makes too much of a trim adjustment. I know I can work the throttle to get accieve s&l flight but I would like to trim up for refuel with a little more accuracy.

PFunk1606688187 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Nope, learn to live with it. In fact many people like having nose heavy trim for AAR, but thats down to preference I guess. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
kk0425 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 The quicker you are with the trim hat the finer you can get it. I've learned to "bump" it by brushing my thumb against the hat quickly so it does just tiny amounts of trim. Not a perfect solution but it works for me. Oh, and I like nose heavy too.
PFunk1606688187 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 There is a minimum trim input achievable based on keystroke duration and its rather course. No matter how soft you tap the trim it will never go any finer than its minimum input which is, again, somewhat course compared to what you'd expect trim in a real aircraft to be. You can test it by assigning trim to keystrokes and tapping them as quickly and softly as you can, you'll notice that its not altogether different than what is achieved with a casual press or even a careful bump of the trim hat. The trim hat doesn't appear to demonstrate any different behavior than the keystroke. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is.
