REFLECTOR: Aileron trim

[Ron Brown]

Most folks have said it aileron trim is of little use on the Velocity.  I use it occasionally, but I wouldn't say it is required.  My Cessna 172 didn't have it (nor rudder trim).  There was a trim tab on the rudder that could be adjusted on the ground to get it pretty close at cruise speed.  You could do something like that on the V if it got to be annoying.  But, I don't think it will be a big issue not to have the aileron trim system.

  Hello folks

   

  Recently, there was a post on the subject of aileron trim.

   

  My kit did not come with aileron trim.  I am guessing it is because mine is with the yoke system rather than the traditional center stick arrangement.  Is aileron trim needed?  For those flying the Velocity, do you use it often?
