True enough that the indicator has little use. The trim is good
for long climbs as someone mentioned, or if you snooze too long and forget
to switch tanks. The wing imbalance can be trimmed out with the rudder
trim, although you'll lose a little speed by flying sideways. Sometimes
worth it if the aileron pull keeps you flying in circles on the clouds...
