Greetings:



Read archieves "Aileron Trim".  The few Archieve seem

to indicate "not needed but nice to have".  From YOUR

EXPERINCES is it really required   OR    just nice to

have  ????  Other words how useful is it to have ???  



Appreciate your opinions in helping me decide whether

I need to install Aileron Trim.  ( Will definitely

have Elevator Trim )



Looking for a CI-215 VOR / LOC / GS Antenna.  Any body

have one for sale ???

As with all things, there is a balance between nice to have and

cost/complexity.  For aileron trim however it is a no-brainer, put it in.

Cost is low and it's easy to install.



I have it on my 8A and would not be without it.  I will be installing it as

well in my 10.  I use a coolly hat on the Infinity stick to control.  The

coolly hat operates relays that control the aileron and elevator trim

motors.  Relays purchased from Allied.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Hey Garey,

     

     I have an RV8, started flying it in May and have  the manual trim system in it.  I was lucky enough to have built an airplane  flew hands off the first time with the trim centered.  I use the trim only  to off set the imbalance of fuel burn, and that is only on occasion.  I  would put it in again as the cost is next to nothing in comparison with other  things and it is nice to be able to take you hand off the stick at any time and  have the plane continue straight ahead.  

  

 Best of luck,
