Auto pilot engages trim wheel?
-
I'm back in the Arrow after a while. When engaging the auto-pilot, the trim wheel also engages - why is that? I thought the AP had no pitch control?
I have the special Altitude Hold disabled (at least according to the tooltip), and I have the Electric Pitch trim button set to Off (out).
What am I missing?

Further digging reveals this to be a hardware issue, not caused by the Just Flight PA-28.
I'm using a trim wheel from Flight Illusion, and unfortunately they've coded it to engage when AP is turned on... which works poorly for a plane with no AP Elevator Control... :) I've contacted their support to ask for an added option, to be used for planes like this. (they used to have that in their old software, but a "better" version has been released since)
