Check for discrete Aileron and Rudder trim Input:
Prior to calibrating the trim, you will need to check if the Aileron and Rudder Trim are
discrete trim channels.
To test, turn the Aileron and Rudder Trim several times and if green shade on the column for
AIL TRM and RUD TRM reflects your input, you will proceed with calibration.
Otherwise, you will go back to 8 and disable the check box for PFC Aileron Trim and PFC
Rudder Trim. If only RUD TRM works, then you will only disable the PFC Aileron Trim.
