The one I used in Remos , which I think was the standard Allen design, was just awful... it was like operating slow machinery with delayed feedback response ... very frustrating.Wm.Ince wrote:To each his own.Warmi wrote: . . .

Electric elevator trim is ideal. Not only activated from the contol sticks, but also activated when the autopilot is coupled. A lot less fatigue, especially during configuring for speed, climb, decents and flaps. It is not appreciated until it is regularily used. It can easily "spoil" you. . .
Eddie is right, they are not necessarily slow. Depends on the aircraft and if they have a speed controller limiting the trim motors. The electric trim in my early SportCruiser is so fast I have to simply tap the buttons to adjust the trim. The later SportCruisers added a motor speed controller to slow down the trim motors as many thought it was too fast.Warmi wrote:Actually , to clarify , my problem is not with having trim adjustment controls on the stick but rather with electrically powered trims , regardless where these are located , they are just too slow to adjust and the effect is similar to adjusting volume with up/down controls on your iPhone vs knob based analog adjustment. Give the analog control every time ....
It's not the panel porn you're expecting, remember I have a 2007 SportCruiser with the older, legacy Dynon glass. Compared to the latest carbon fiber panels out there stuffed with the large Skyview or Garmin instruments it may come up short in your expectations. For me, I love what I have now after my recent GPS and COMM radio upgrade. I may think about upgrading in the future but as I said, for now my panel provides me everything I need.Warmi wrote:Since people are posting their panels.. why don’t you post yours Shawn ...
