TRIM
Here is a quick tour of the center pedestal in the 727
In the photo above, I point out some of the Stabilizer Trim controls in the 727.
There are 4 ways to move the stabilizer trim in the 727.
1. Main electric trim on the pilots control wheel, using the thumb switch in real life, or the joystick trim switches.
2. Cruise trim switch on the lower right of the pedestal. (Slow rate)
3. Manual. You can use a flip-out handle on the big black wheel and crank in trim. CAREFUL here in real life as this wheel could break your arm if your not careful and someone hit the trim button. So in the real world you would have to use the cutout switches on the lower right of the pedestal. In CS-727 they don't seem to shutoff the trim, but they should. You can move the trim wheel with your mouse.
4. The Autopilot can trim the stab as well.
I agree the main trim is wild!
