Out of curiosity, why is this such a high priority for you?

The HUD and VDI are always perfectly trimmed, so you shouldn't need to mess with the trim knobs.

No they're not. As you change altitude they become horribly wrong. 

You mean the horizon line ends up above the real horizon on the HUD?

Or, as you climb higher, the pitch attitude is farther above the VDI horizon line?

FWIW, I click three times on my little mouse wheel to reduce VDI pitch by about a degree. This puts the VDI 10 degree pitch line on the aircraft symbol when onspeed in the landing pattern. It's simply what I prefer. After that, I don't touch it.

You do that as a visual aid to help you keep staying onspeed in the pattern?

So if the airplane symbol on the VDI is above 10 degrees you're slow and below you're fast? That might be a really good tip to try myself because the AOA tape is really small to see, often I just look for the yellow circle on the indexer

Do you fly the turn at the 180 after downwind (and if you bolter, the turn back into downwind) onspeed or a tad faster? And then on rollout into the groove slow to onspeed again if you were faster in the turn to compensate for the bank?
