So many variables. **Plane* for starters!


Of course in simulators it will be the same. *He doesnt' fly a plane
where weight and balance issues come to play that affect trim settings
like in my real plane.


Ummm, for starters plane comes in lighter after a flight.... *:-)))


One other thing, I wouldn't have my trim set in the same spot on EVERY
flight either :-))) as you allude above, more variables then just set
trim and take off / land.


I found that I trimmed the aircraft to fly in what ever attitude I
required at that time.
I didn't make a point of examining where the pointer was .


Exactly. In one plane I fly, the white line is pretty much
worn off beyond recognition. ( I find it later after landing)


Where do you set it before first T/O ?

Duncan.- Hide quoted text -


There is a white line on the wheel, and I set it
even with the indicator arrow, or...at a "neutral"
position. (in other words, no trim)

Why would you think the take off mark on the trim wheel sets trim to
neutral (whatever that means)?


*lol*

Because it's Mark(ie) the bi-polar "pilot".
