Why is there no force trim in helicopters?

Featured Replies

I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer. I realize the stick in the real copter works differently, but I still feel there should be a work-around force trim that takes all pressure off the stick when pressed. I believe even the Heuys had this back in the 60's. I know in real helis the cyclic stays in it's forced trim position, but few of us have joysticks that allow that. A force trim should take pressure off the stick. I do have cyclic longitudinal and lateral trim set up on a hat switch, but these take a lot more work than a simple force trim and release button.

I tried the set trim binding and that removes all the trim that I've added. I guess beep trim is for fine tuning, but I've never used it.

Is there a work around?
