2nd Generation Trim Wheel, Panel mount, with Trim-Lock
Step up your Flight Sim game with our new 2nd generation, panel-mount trim wheel assembly!
Designed to give the look and feel of a small aircraft trim wheel, our control is made of rugged 3-D printed ABS plastic, and includes a long-life potentiometer, rated at 100,000 cycles. The assembly is geared to provide 2-1/2 turns of the trim wheel, using the entire usable range of the potentiometers rotation, adding precision and realism. Our new curved indicator lets you know how far you are from the neutral position, and makes it easy to center the trim, with tick marks every 40 degrees, and a larger tick mark for center. Greatly increases immersion in your sim, as instead of clicking away on unrealistic keyboard keys, or using your mouse to adjust trim, you can use a control that mimics the real thing.
This new 2nd generation trim wheel includes Trim-Lock, our unique end stop mechanism that will prevent you from over-turning the wheel and damaging the gears and potentiometer!
You can use the included mounting screws to mount the unit to your control panel, or attach with glue or double-sided tape.
The USB Control board will appear as a standard HID Joystick controller, identified as a "Gear-Falcon Elevator Trim", "Gear-Falcon Aileron Trim", or "Gear-Falcon Rudder Trim", depending on which version you purchase. Also included are breakout pins for 8 digital inputs - you can upgrade it by connecting buttons, switches, encoders, etc.
10' USB Mini-B cable included.
This trim wheel is also available without a USB joystick control board. It comes with a 14" 3-wire cable for connecting to the joystick control board of your choice.
Fully compatible on PC or MAC with any flight sim that allows you to map an analog axis to the trim function...MSFS2020, IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, IL2-BoX, XPlane, etc.
Attention MSFS 2020 users: Please remember to turn off "AI Auto Trim" in the Assistance menu or the AI will not let you trim the aircraft yourself.
