    Any times to pre-flight check pitch trim on Tomahawks?

    Eye ball: on the ground before the take off run, trim the aft of the elevator about 1-2 inches down. Not too reliable though. You can figure out the trim in flight or in climb out. It is not hard to control or over power the trim on take off and easy to wheel it out in a jiffy. Climb at Vx: 70...
