Digital trim

Digital trim with an acoustic feedback

The two control sticks have digital trimming.

Briefly touch the trimming switch to move the neutral position of
the control stick by a specific value with each click. If it is held,
the trimming moves in the corresponding direction with increas­ing speed.

The adjustment is made audible by tones of varying levels. It is
therefore easy to find the middle position during flight. If you go
past the middle position, a brief pause is inserted.

The current trimming values are saved.

The digital trim reacts to a trim lever movement only if the trans­mitter is switched on.
