What exactly happens when the trim is adjusted to point the
nose upward?
What type of plane is this for? I have a Mooney and also fly a
182. Both trim system are very, very different.
For sake of those of us who only own MSFS, let's say a C172.
Does MSFS emulate the servo tab on the elevator? What does it do
when you change the trim in the air?
Trying to emulate real life trim on a simulation system that uses
spring centered control sticks isn't going to work like real life
as you may already know.
Should I post the spoiler on how a couple other mechanisims work
(besides servo tabs)?
I'll raise you one to make three additional trim systems. Any more?
I can think of four for a total of five, depending on whether you'd
consider hydraulic centering to be the same as a bungee trim system.
theothersa re of course, a tab system which is th emost common light
aircraft system. the trimmable stab, a'la Cub and most airliners and
the vane, like some early T-carts had.. There're probably some
others, but i can't think of any.
I'd count that as the same -the acutuating system doesn't count, just
the aerodynamic priciples. So, if you have four I'll raise you again
one to make five... Any raise on five basic methods?
Yeah, they;re essentially the same.
Go on. I'll call.
Should'nt we wait to see if there's any other raise?
Weight shift?
