Take Off Trim

[Walt]

Does anyone have data on take off trim settings for the -300?

Hey Walt, have a look here and try using the weight and balance add on. Gives you some settings for that stuff if I remember correctly.

I recommend trimming it as far back in the takeoff range as possible. This provides a easy rotation and an excellent initial pitch for V2+10 to 15.

Cheers,

Hi,

also after some years back to the Dash8. Still a very good plane.

Just one question: In old times when the other forum existed, there was a solution for the very slow movement of the trim. I am not sure, but I think it was a mod in the aircraft.cnf file.

Can anybody help???

Thanks

Peter

I'm using the new Saitek Cessna Trim wheel with my Dash 8 and FSUIPC and it works perfectly. You can control the trim fast or slow with accuracy.
