shy torque Take this example.
Take off and go to cruise altitude.
Trim the aircraft to cruise speed, and let go of the yoke. (Keep heading with rudder only).

Reduce power. What happens? Speed stays at the trimmed speed but you descent.
Increase power. What happens? Speed stays at trimmed speed but the aircraft climbs.

Trim sets the speed.
Power controls climb or descent.
