REFLECTOR: TruTrak Automatic Trim

[Andrew Judge]

As long as you don't reverse it on first shot, shouldn't be a problem. These things are much better than people. 

Personally, I'd rather have it doing it's job and when it's not, I'm not using the AP. Since I can't feel stick pressure, I want nothing to do with it. 

Overall, they are good, especially in IFR. Rain and clouds tend to change the pitch required to maintain altitude.

Wow, I don't think I'd like that.  On the Trio the manual trim overrides whatever the AP might think it wants.

Works pretty well. It doesn't go to zero pressure trim, but overall good. Well worth it for me. Without it, you need to guess and remember to trim. I used to hate the AP disengaging. At 350, it's well worth it. It also disables the manual pitch trim when the AP is engaged - making manual trim impossible until the AP is cancelled.

If so, how would you rate it's function and service so far? I see it has come down from $1100 to $350 and was considering adding it to my Velocity's pitch trim servo.
