Spoilers instead of ailerons _and_ electrically controlled ailerons for trim
on the wing? Man, what were the folks at Mitsubishi smoking the day they
came up with that one? I knew the MU-2 was different but I never realized
just how unorthodox it truly is...

There are electrically controlled ailerons for roll trim. Of course, you
also trim out the rudder forces too. The basic drill is feather the prop
then "357": three seconds of nose up elevator trim, five seconds of roll
trim and seven "handfulls" of rudder trim. There are a few more things
but none of them are critical.

neutralize the yoke because you don't want to have a spoiler sticking
up.

Huh? Did you possibly mean *rudder* trim, or just how does the roll trim
work on that thing?
