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)? -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |

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. Bertie |
