No worries re; the brews, and thanks for the replies
-No autopilots on this bird,
-No, the question wasn't the idea behind it, but how common is the practice. Are there many out there that trim your turns?
-I appreciate the argument, but if I'm trimmed into a rate one turn and get vertigo, I'm still trimmed for that rate one turn. There's not much chance of losing control.
-On a night rig departure, I doubt there'd be much turning prior to Vtoss, but I do control pitch with the hat as well and I could see the benefit of having the nose come back up to level if something were to go wrong.
hmmmmm.......
