TRIM OFFSET (TOF)
The Trim Offset function may be used to set a
trim offset for different flight conditions. For
Helicopters, this is very useful to set offsets when
the Pitch -> rudder (P->R) mixing is used. For Sail-
planes, it may be used for setting trims for both
elevator (ETM) and full wing camber, which may
be programmed within Trim mixes 1 and 2 (TM1,
TM2).
You may set a time delay to slow down the
servo motions when the flight condition is switch-
ed. The delay should be entered in the digital trim
TRM function (page 71).

show T1 (trim 1): Aileron; T2 (trim 2): Throttle; T3
(trim 3): Elevator; T4 (trim 4); Rudder. Note that when a
trim is set to ATL type (throttle, for example), the offset
rate cannot be set.
Offset Rate setting
Set the trim offset with the rate setting keys EtoM .
Initial values are set to 0%, but may range between —100
and +100%. Repeat these steps for each trim.
End setting by pressing the END N key.
