This is true.  I have found, however, that the single speed is plenty. =20=

I fly the overhead approach often, in which the plane decelerates=20
fairly rapidly from 200 to 90 knots and the trim keep up just fine. =20
Remember, these airplanes don't require much input to effect pitch=20

is all you need the vast majority (say 99%) of the time.

Sooo, my two cents is that while a nice gadget, it unnecessarily=20
complicates the system...something I've been taught to avoid in=20
airplanes....

Cheers,

The trim speed you need for landing or coarse level off, is not the
speed you need to get set up level in cruise.
