Klaus:
Let's clarify a definition:
When you are talking TRIM... Are you talking FIXED TRIM or
Adjustable Trim while Flying?
Since these are simple planes I am thinking FIXED TRIM TABS.
If you are talking in-flight adjustable trim then the whole purpose of this
thread is moot.
Since Jerry can just trim out the heavy wing.
If you are talking FIXED TRIM TABS then...
>From what you are saying is adjust for glide.
But what happens to the trim at cruse/S&L?
So what is the next step - Adjust it half way between Glide and Cruse?
Then that way you are OFF/OUT OF TRIM in both conditions!
Welcome to the world of sloppy flying in either condition.
You would not be trimed for Glide or Cruse.
And talk about workload.
Try making a crosswind landing in 20 Kts 90 degrees to the runway when a
wing wants to drop.
Especially when it is the downwind wing.
[From your post] So you are descending from 12500 to 6000 That is ONLY 5500
to the ground which should take you 11 minutes. You are saying that you
would trim your FIXED TABS for a flight of 11 Minutes Vs the 1:30 Hr flight
to get there.... Where is your workload reduction?
There is NO reason to try to trim a plane for GLIDE. YES - You better trim
a GLIDER for glide.
Other areas have to be addressed on Jerry's plane. And I'm sure he will, as
he wants a hands off flying abilities.
