I've never had a student have trouble understanding trim. I think this is just something that is confusing for the sim guys. As such it is more approporiate for a sim group, not a pilot's group. -Robert, CFII |

Hi All, This post is primarily directed toward student pilots like myself. First, I am not asking because I want to know the answer (I already know), but do a little experiment. I have maybe 7 or 8 different sources of flight information that I rely on for ground school (Jeppesen, FAA Handbooks, etc), and none of them said _how_ it worked in sufficient detail, they only said what one must do to make the plane pitch up or downard. So for you students, please do not cheat and do what I did, which is watch the airfoils move as you move the trim control. Also, it would help if you did not think about the correct answer too much, which would lead you to the correct answer, thereby defeating the purpose of my experiment. So, without cheating, and without asking an experienced pilot or mechanic,... What exactly happens when the trim is adjusted to point the nose upward? The more specific your answer about the mechanics on airfoil outside the plane, the better. And remember, no cheating! Also, for experienced pilots that know the answer, please do not ruin it by telling everyone before any answers have been given, though if you are not certain of the answer and would like to speculate, that's fine. -Le Chaud Lapin- Guess you missed this thread: http://groups.google.ca/group/rec.av...ravel&lnk=ol&# Dan |

Did indeed. Just glad that the answer is not laid-out in first few posts. For students that are reading this, don't cheat by reading that thread! There is no point in giving your answer if you look it up first. -Le Chaud Lapin- |
