10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I use a landing condition stolen from Dave
Lockhart. With the Futaba radios that have separate conditions it is
pretty easy. 9Z, 12 and 14 have them (and perhaps others) Just assign
a new condition to a switch and you can have any function change throws,
centering etc. In mine, both ailerons droop ala flaperons, the
differential is modified so they do not bind when going further down (they move
up normally and down just a little). A small bit of elevator offset can
be added (mine didn’t need it) and rudder is mixed to aileron to aid in
slow speed turning. In addition with the 14 MZ you can set it to activate
slowly so no sudden pitch changes. I also set a voice to the switch to
tell me it is activated. You can use the setting for short take
offs on grass runways and I didn’t want to accidentally leave the setting
activated during a pattern. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I go to my landing mode. This allows me to trim for a slower airspeed without
messing up my in-flight elevator trim. I use -100% offset in the mix to allow
the slider to become effective over its entire range. I mix in a max of 10% of
up elevator.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
