The Cirrus has an electric trim. I find it's all but impossible to get
fine enough control to really get the thing trimmed up properly at high speed; it's just too twitchy. But the Cirrus also has an autopilot, which more than makes up for the twitchy trim. When everything is working properly, flying the CIrrus cross-country is more like playing a video game than flying an airplane. (In the best of all worlds I'd like to have both a manual trim and an autopilot (and a rudder trim while we're making out wish lists) but if I have to choose just one the AP is a big win.) My Cirrus does have rudder trim. The 2001 SR-22 has it. Don't know why they removed it on more recent models. KR
