The 2-32 trim is a nice set up...it is an anti servo tab....aerodynamic trim system...the more you move the stick, the harder it fights back...sort of variable ratio.....

A full flying stabilizer pretty much requires this sort of trim...

I find the trim "wheel" a bit awkward though...

My airplane transition pilots always seemed to like the 2-32 because it flies more like an airplane than it does like a glider.

Many planes and gliders don't need any trim system at all....

We seldom even touch the trim when flying a 1-26 ...My small homebuilt airplanes had no need for trim either...

A precise, powerful trimming system makes an enormous difference in any aircraft. Schweizer proved they could do it with the 2-32. That they then failed to do so with subsequent models is puzzling.
