My pilot side trim switch is on my Ray Allen grip. This is the one with the 4-way hat switch, and two buttons. The face of the hat switch pad is more vertical than not. Yet.........when I push forward on the stick, I want the hat switch trim function to move in the same direction. Therefor, pushing forward (up) on the hat switch is trimming down, just as the forward motion on the stick would push the nose down.
My right side panel mounted rocker switch does the same, and so does the Ray Allen gauge next to it.
