Intelligent Trim System

Product Overview:

The Intelligent Trim System - Smart Trim enhances flight safety by providing precise, automated control over pitch, roll, rudder trim, and flap motors. Designed for experimental aircraft, this advanced system offers speed-adjustable trim control, reducing the risk of abrupt control surface movements, especially at higher airspeeds. Whether integrated with a compatible EFIS system or operating independently, Smart Trim delivers smooth and reliable trim and flap management.

Key Features:

• Precise Control: Provides directional control for pitch, roll, rudder trim, and flap motors.
• Compatible with Standard Electric Trim Motors: Works seamlessly with standard trim servos and flap motors.
• Adjustable Trim Speed: Automatically adjusts the speed of servo motors based on aircraft speed to prevent abrupt changes in control surfaces.
• Flap Position Presets: Allows pre-programmed flap positions for simplified in-flight adjustments.
• EFIS Compatibility: Integrates with ELM1000, ELM350, ELM300, and ELM200 EFIS systems for enhanced functionality and customization.

In-Flight Features:

✔️ Trim Control: Manages pitch, roll, rudder, and flap motors with speed-sensitive adjustments to ensure smooth, stable operations.
✔️ Adjustable Speed: Trim speed varies based on aircraft speed to prevent sudden or unsafe movements.
✔️ Flap Presets: Pre-set flap positions for quick and easy adjustments during different phases of flight.
✔️ Auto-Trim Capability: When integrated with the AutoFlight control system, Smart Trim auto-trims the pitch axis in autopilot mode, improving stability.
✔️ Runaway Trim Protection: A built-in safety feature limits trim switch activation to 2.5 seconds to prevent unintended trim commands due to accidental jamming.
✔️ Independent Operation: Smart Trim can operate without a connected EFIS, providing basic trim and flap controls. Full speed adjustment and flap preset features require an EFIS connection.

Enhanced Safety and Control:

The Smart Trim system safeguards against abrupt control surface movements by automatically reducing trim motor speed at higher airspeeds, ensuring smooth and predictable trim adjustments. It also features runaway trim protection, which automatically deactivates the trim switch if held for too long, preventing unintended or hazardous trim changes during flight.

For pilots using a compatible EFIS system, Smart Trim offers additional capabilities, including the ability to preset flap positions and manage servo motor speeds with greater precision. When coupled with the AutoFlight system, Smart Trim enhances autopilot performance by auto-trimming the pitch axis in real-time.
