Hi all

In a GA cockpit what is the relationship between trim wheel direction and trim applied ?
If I have the wheel end on to me and turn it up does the nose go up or down !
logically I would expect turning the wheel up would trim nose down ? but as I have found lots of things are not logical i.e rudder works opposite to a bike handle bars or a box car steered by the feet  !
regards paul

Generally in all cockpits (bar a few), if the top part of the wheel moves to the rear of the aircraft (turning "towards you") then that will trim UP.
