REFLECTOR: ROLL TRIM

[Dave Nelson]

I've got around 700 hours on my Std RG... I've never needed it.

  I know this topic has been probably discussed so much ... that it makes your teeth hurt ... BUT I NEED MORE INPUT!

   

  I installed a really cool roll trim.  It is basically Alex Strong's servo connection to the aileron bell crank.  It gives a constant spring tension and snaps back when pushed or pulled against it.

   

  However, I am wondering something.  And I can't answer it because I only have 6 hours on my plane.

   

  HOW IMPORTANT IS ROLL TRIM ON THE VELOCITY.

   

  No theories please.  I really want to hear from guys who are flying.  Do you use it?  Really?  Would you miss it?

   

  It seems to be a pain in the a$$ to have constant tension (even light tension) on the stick.  Has anyone one away with it?

   

  Thanks,
