There really needs to be an auto-trimmer for any aircraft under any weather conditions. It would work best with an auto-installer for everyone.Is that possible? :-?

My (very expensive) "Auto-Pilot", in my Radio Stack, does an excellent job of maintaining my aircraft at my desired height, speed, and direction, under any conditions.
It constantly trims the aircraft to maintain the desired track.
Without the necessary electronics, wiring, cables, and trimmer motors, the aeroplane has to be controlled manually.
It adds a considerable cost to a basic aircraft.

I know it can be done, the Blue Angels F-18 update has a software to control trim settings automatically.About the radio stack, thats quite a bit of wiring to do.

Does the Blue Angels FA-18 auto trim set all trim settings or only the elevators ?
