Errm.... have you ever sat in a Cirrus (either kind)? There
is ONLY electric trim. No comforting trim wheel down
by your right hand.

fwiw in my plane (182RG) I never use the electric trim,
partly because it doesn't work very well and partly because
I've just never got into the habit. (Funny, because the couple
of times I flew a Mooney Bravo it seemed like second nature
to use the electric trim).

the electric trim is so fast you can't trim the plane for hands-off
flying (and therefore have to use the autopilot) IS.


what's wrong with the manual trim...
