press is make, release is break.Ī switch on, is make and stays, till switch off. There is however a question to ask youre selfs, why am i saying this, has to do with the fact that the input through the different devices we use, “for example a keystroke”, is a short pulse. There are several ways to trim elevator, ailerons or rudders. I’ve also practiced with the Cessna 152/172 and found it much easier there - I’m wondering if it is because the TBM is about twice as fast at cruise, if not more, and this makes everything a bit more sensitive.
I’m a nooby pilot, so probably doing something basically wrong, although I’ve watched a couple of videos on it. 35% seems better, but I’m still oscilating.
I tried -80%, but found that I then had to move the lever a long way to have any impact and then the curve gets exponential at the end and it just jumps away from me. I’ve dialled down the sensitivity - currently on -35%. I though this would give me much greater control. So I remapped pitch trim to an axis on the logitech quadrant. By default, pitch trim is mapped to a two button switch on the yoke - but I found this way to sensitive. I have a Honeycomb yoke and logitech throttle quadrant. However, I’ve been struggling with pitch trimming on it - I’m finding it really hard to get level flight - I always seem to be either slightly climbing or slightly descending and when I try to adjust it I always seem to go too far the other way. I’ve been flying the TBM 930 quite a bit, and like it for its combination of speed and range.
