Thread: trim indicators

    trim indicators

    Hi guys, I have the trim indication set to on all the time. I have a Vertical Power VPX Pro running the electrics.
    When I use the Hat trim on the Infinity stick grip both the nose up trim and aileron trim motors work just fine
    but the indicator on the AFS moves very, very slowly (i.e. - not even close to keeping up with the actual movement
    of the trim motor). Any ideas? Thanks, Tony

    Do you have the servo sensor connected to the EFIS or VP?

    So what is the buzz then? Will I get flap and trim position from the VPX displayed on the EFIS without having to select the VPX page or does the EFIS need its own dedicated sensor or input? This thread has not yet been addressed and I too would like to know the answer!

    We don't see a delay when the trim sensors are connected to the EFIS engine monitor board. I will have to see what is going on:

    1. What model EFIS are you running?

    2. Software Version?

    The EFIS should display the position from the VPX.

    Hi Rob - I have 2 4500's and the software has not been updated since I bought them about a year and a half ago. I'm checking with my wiring guy (John Preiss)
    to get you the correct answers. I will check on the Software Version ASAP but I'm out of town and so is John. I should have more info for you tomorrow.
    Thanks!, Tony
