You are NOT meant to be letting it trim for you. That is not what it is designed to do.
p.s the system becomes active 10 seconds after take off until mach 0.68
I don’t understand. What does attempting to go for mean if not attempting to trim the aircraft?
He who said taking the feature away would lose nothing is correct. I’ve been flying the fluf for 26+ years and I don’t appreciate the function at all. In fact, on takeoff my technique is to periodically move the left half of the trim switch, which inhibits the annoying trim from even happening.
