So reading this 9Xv2 (9303) manual once more, I have got 4 functions (mode 1)

1. Hover Trim
1a Hover Pitch Trim (Upper left front panel most right side)
1b Hover Throttle Trim (Upper right front panle most left side)

They are actually not levers, but in a way like digital trims, which correct only the normal flight mode in Pitch and Engine Power respectively, and compared to normal trims, they act only on middle points in the respective curve

Did I get that right ? :idea:

2 Trim Lever
2a Pitch Trim Lever (Slider left side)
2b Hover Trim Lever (where ???)

2a/b actually also work only in Normal Flight mode same as 1a/b, but why would I use both of those ? Just because different knobs ? :idea:

So I found only the Pitch Trim Lever on the left side, which can also be put on/off in the DEV.SELECT menu, but what is the equivalent for the Throttle Lever ?? There is nothing I can turn on/off in DEV.SELECT, and also the lever on the right side is actually called AUX3, or is that the one for the throttle ? :idea:

Sorry long question, but for me this is really confusing ...

THANKS !

If your going to use a linear pitch curve with 0 at mid stick. Just go ahead and inhibit the hover pitch and throttle trims. Also inhibit any pitch trim adjustments. It will make life easier.

Yes you have the correct idea on what the trims do. I don't know of anyone that uses them when using a linear pitch curve with 0 at midstick position.

We go through the same thing with the 9c and if they arent inhibited and you dont have them centered they can cause all kinds of greif during initial setup.
