A-25
The Trim function can be toggled between COM (common)
and F.M. (Flight Mode) by pressing the Selector when COM
or F.M. is highlighted. In the COM mode, the digital trims for
Elevator, Ailerons, and Rudder are common or shared in all
Flight Modes. If a trim change is made in any flight mode, the
trim in all flight modes are also changed (common trims in all
flight modes). If F.M. is selected in Stunt Trim, the 12X stores
the digital trim positions independently for each Flight Mode.
This allows the aircraft to be independently trimmed in each
flight mode and when that flight mode is selected the previously
set trim value for that flight mode is active. This is a very useful
feature if switching between Flight Modes causes the aircraft’s
trim to change, such as when flaps are deployed by one of the
Flight Modes causing the aircraft to have a pitch change. In this
case, the pilot can simply use the Elevator digital trim to trim
the Elevator to correct the pitch up tendencies when the flaps
are deployed using a flight mode. Selecting each Flight Mode
brings in a corresponding set of trims, allowing the aircraft to
be independently trimmed for each flight mode during flight.
Note
: When Trim is set to FMOD, be aware during the
first flight and remember that the aircraft will need to be
trimmed using the digital trims for Aileron, Elevator and
Rudder for each Flight Mode selected during flight. If the
aircraft is badly out of trim, remember that when switching
from flight modes each flight mode will require trimming.
