If the trim is set so that there is no nose down trimming required after takeoff, then it will take quite a bit of pull to get the aircraft to rotate and in the initial climb. If the aircraft is trimmed so that only a moderate amount of force is required to rotate then it will require pushing on the yoke and retrimming after takeoff as the airplane accelerates. The trim setting is correct for one speed and configuration (power and flap) and since the airplane is accelerating, the trim is going to need to be changed. Mike, I think trim is just academic is MSFS because there is no control feedback. The OP is probably setting the elevator with too much back pressure but doesn't know it because he doesn't have the feedback. Honestly, if you asked me what position the yoke is in on take off, I probably couldn't tell you. In real life we expect the yoke to go to its trim position, something that doesn't make sense in a simulator that does not have feedback controls. -Roebrt |
