The pitch trim unit that Kevin posted a picture of is a beautiful unit. My friend has one in his Sonex which works well but is too slow for me. I is very nice for fine trim adjustment though. 

I will try to get to the airport this weekend and get some pictures to post of my manual elevator trim.

Hello Robert,

 

I do not see any problem in a slow trim. I will give my own point of view, what I learned from my Instructor is that the trim is to lighten the force in the joystick, not to set the aircraft attitude.   I set my aproach (or climb) attitude with the joystick, then use the trim to lighten the force on the hand.

In cruise, the slower the movement of the trim the better, this for fine adjustment.

With the trim of my 701 is not easy to fine tune it in cruise, because the motor is very sensitive.

Hope this helps.

 

Saludos

Gary is right!  You don't fly the plane with  trim, you only use the trim to reduce the force of control inputs.    Speed of trim in a go around is not very important.   

 Control inputs on my 701 are not heavy anyway, even  when deliberately set out of trim in a simulated go around or recovery from a  level trimmed out power off stall.
