DeepDrummer Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Get the nose to where you want it to go and trim to hold it there. I just learned that if you trim to move the nose, you will always have to trim back again and this can result in see sawing and constant trimming.

Terry Dactil Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yes. That is the way to use the trim. The idea is you set the attitude (nose position) you want by using the normal joystick control, and then use the trim to remove any force you are using. You should then be able to go 'hands off"and the aircraft will maintain that attitude. It is a bit hard in the Spitfire as it has neutral stability and does not return to the trimmed attitude if displaced. That is one of the delights in flying the Spitfire - it tends to go where you point it regardless of any speed change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
