If it's really a trim gauge it's definitely not working as it should. The one in the Mk VIII does nothing except has the needle pointed slightly below zero all the time and the one in the Mk VII shows nearly maximum values on the ground (as also experienced by Frosty) and in the air it has something to do with the attitude of the aircraft. "Something" because I have very little idea what - in level flight it behaves as on the ground, only in a steep dive the needle begins to come down but as soon as the nose gets anywhere near the horizon it's back in the nearly maximum value. Actual elevator trim settings do nothing to change it, tried the entire range from -100.00 to 100.00.
