[NSRCA-discussion] Offset in program mix

[James Oddino]

Very interesting.  I would never have thought of doing it that way.   
I use a landing condition to switch out the down trim on low throttle  
and can have a different trim than the flight trim but I would agree  
you wouldn't want to be moving the digital trim during landing.  I  
guess if you want to be changing the trim and using the full range of  
the slider you have a clever solution.
