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)
