Display autopilot trim torque

[hoyden]

I have the 2 axis autopilot, and manual elevator and aileron trim in my RV6. Is there a way for Skyview to display the torque being generated by the servos? It would be nice to visually display the trim condition rather than disconnect the autopilot to see how the plane flies.

SkyView will already tell you to trim up or down if the plane is out of trim based on the servo torque. Are you not getting these alerts?

I get the alerts but was wondering if there is any benefit to having a more precise reading. When I get an alert, usually elevator trim, I adjust the trim until the alert goes away. I also occasionally disengage the autopilot with no alerts showing, and notice that the plane is not trimmed for level flight. I retrim for level before re-engaging the autopilot. I was wondering if there was some way to display the torque continuously. It may be that the torque offset to induce level flight is negligible and the alerts are sufficient indication.
