I’m CONSTANTLY having to retrim the plane for the trutrak. As in all the time. and then it is really unreliable in climb unless I ride the trim. I’ve loads of experience flying with the Garmin autopilot with trim and while that is truly hands off autopilot flying, the trutrak is decidedly not.

I know my ‘68 235 is a nose heavy aircraft without the benefit of the larger elevator but it seems the trutrak really struggles. Any feedback from fellow 235/TT users? ANyone know if there’s a trim module coming for the certified TT?
