TRIM STEp
The Trim Step function allows servo movement adjustment per click of trim. For
example you usually want a large trim step (8 to 10) for a new model. Each click
of trim will have a large amount of trim travel so you can quickly adjust an out-of-
trim model in flight. Later you can use a finer trim step (1-5) to adjust for precise
flight. The Trim Step function allows the trims to be common or independent in
each active flight mode. Many helicopter pilots use independent trims because
they are automatically active when a flight mode is activated. Important: The
trim step function has no effect on the overall trim travel, only the total number of
clicks available. If you select a 0 value in trim step, the trim is turned off.
