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.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Aug 23, 2007, at 5:32 PM, Kurt Bozarth wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <DIV class="Section1"><P class="MsoPlainText"><FONT size="2" face="Courier New"><SPAN style="font-size: 10.0pt">I use my right slider to mix in elevator when I go to my landing mode.
