The Van's unit is simple, light, effective and inexpensive. While you're at it, buy the Safety Trim unit as well - another good product. If you doing a top hat on the stick for trim, Safety Trim is a much simpler way to go compared to relay decks and such.

The -10 is pretty sensitive to lateral imbalance. Thumbs up for Safety Trim, as well. -------- David Maib RV-10 #40559 Transition Trainer New Smyrna Beach, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=398326#398326 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:20:08 AM PST US From: Linn Subject: Re: RV10-List: RV 10 Aileron Trim I'm installing aileron and rudder trim using model airplane servos moving a short section of hinge.

So you can decide for yourself whether there is a need or not, before purchasing.

It is inexpensive and easy to install. The -10 is extremely sensitive to fuel imbalance. 5 gallons difference will make a wing heavy. Install a Vertical power system or use the TCW safety trim, they both do an excellent job of managing your trim controls and controlling sensitivity verses aircraft speed. -------- Bill WA0SYV Aviation Partners, LLC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=398346#398346 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:58:23 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: RV 10 Aileron Trim From: "johngoodman" It's worth it, so install it.

Last time was a couple of pilots that for a while (full fuel) the trim helped keep the plane straight. Worse case you have it and never need it, but get it for when you will.

I thought about it a lot, but did not want to have yet another panel eating screen. I'd love to see them incorporate all of the VP-200 capabilities into the VPX, perhaps as an upscale option beyond the VPX Pro.

The servos have incorporated auto trim capabilities without needing the extra auto trim box that others had to use with the Tru Trak servos. I'm not sure how useful roll auto trim will be, but certainly pitch auto trim is well worth the cost IMHO. By the way, anyone want a "smokin" deal on Tru Trak RV10 servos?
