Default Garmin G3X Pitch Trim Needed Is Reversed

I am in the middle of my second condition inspection and want to tackle the last squawk on my list this year. I have the legacy Garmin G3X with TruTrak GX Pilot auto pilot and a per plans Ray Allen stand alone pitch trim system. It works fabulously but if pitch trim is needed, the G3X displays the opposite direction of what is needed. I can not find this addressed in either manual. Is this something I have to live with or is it a configuration or wiring issue that needs to be addressed? Thank you anyone who can help! Dave

Dave,

I had exactly the same issue a couple of years back when I upgraded my RV-7A panel with a G3X system. Trim servos functioning correctly but annunciation on G3X reversed. See this thread http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...d.php?t=103603

Hope this can solve your issue.

Fredrik

Thank you Fredrik. That is my issue and it looks like a simple fix! I searched the forum for a thread like your but did not have the right trigger words I guess. Thank you again. Dave
