Trim - HS748 and A.W. Argosy

Post by kikko »

Dear friends,

I am not able to find the aileron and rudder trims commands on both the Mr.Piper planes. They have the pitch trim wheel only.. Is this a model limitation or the actual planes don't have them? Or, worst, I am partially blind?

Thank You for help!

Hi,

Just took a peek at the Argosy. There is a trim gauge to the right of the Water Meth switches which gives a visual of elevator trim. There is also an 'R' and an 'A' which if you hover your mouse over will give the trim positions for Rudder, Aileron and the centre gives you Elevator - you can use the mouse wheel to trim up/down if you wish. Standard sim commands work for all three trims. The VC doesn't seem to show the tool tip for rudder/aileron althought the 2d does.

Regards

Hi Kikko..

They're in the VC on the 748 but not in the best view. If you're adept at moving around in VC's.. look on the rear of the pedestal ;-)

Hi Guys,

Yep, TrackIR works well in this instance, use your mouse to 'grab' the aileron/rudder trim and they'll both move. Alternatively, use your sim command/assignments and monitor the gauge on the panel a la Argosy.
