With it i can simply unhook the main spring and have non centering pedals for heli use, while still remaining stable. For jets just pop the spring back on.
I am holding off buying a new throttle until someone releases a F-15E one. I just received my Virpil CM3 to fill in until my Rhino arrives. Have a lot of tuning to do with it... so far, I do not see such a huge difference between it and the TM Warthog base.
I thought that you move the trim tab and that moves the elevator up or down. Now the elevator has moved the cable that connects it under the stick is under a slight bit of pressure. This moves the stick to find a new centrepoint.
Until I flew jets I never felt a yoke or stick move with trim with a trim tabbed airplane. at least not a real noticeable amount. Even in jets I fly now with moveable stabs it’s hardly noticeable nothing like DCS where they move so much.
In aircraft with unpowered controls, trim changes the neutral point of the control surface. In a normal WWII warbird, or a Cessna 172 for that matter, the stick (or yoke) won’t move with trim unless there are aerodynamic forces acting upon it. So changing trim when stationary on the ground won’t do anything. In flight the pilot will need to push or pull against the aerodynamic forces to keep the aircraft going straight and level. By trimming, the control surface neutral point moves to where the pilot is holding the stick/yoke. This effectively moves the stick/yoke. Some german aircraft, like the Bf-109, has got a variable incidence tailplane, which means that the stabilizer angle itself, is moving with trim. This should not affect the neutral position of the stick.
Right, but the movement is so small it’s basically impossible to tell in any civil piston aircraft I’ve flown. And very minor in jets with movable stabs. At speed such minor movements make big differences. Maybe it’s different in fighters but I’m guessing it’s overblown.
Collected the Rhino directly from the shipping company, at home now with it, looks beautifully made Walmis, look forward to using it now !! Looks like the Eagle will be out shortly, perfect timing
