If you are using an airspeed sensor, also set the correct cruise airspeed (`FW_AIRSPD_TRIM`).
1. Run [auto-trimming](#auto-trimming) during a flight to set `TRIM_ROLL`, `TRIM_PITCH` and `TRIM_YAW`.

You could also manually set the pitch trim (`TRIM_PITCH`) by looking at the actuator controls in the log file (upload it to [Flight Review](https://logs.px4.io) and check the _Actuator Controls_ plot for example).
Set that value to the average offset of the pitch signal during wing-leveled flight.

Step 3 can be performed before step 2 if you don't want to have to look at the log, or if you feel comfortable flying in manual mode.
You can then trim your remote (with the trim switches) and report the values to `TRIM_ROLL/PITCH/YAW` (and remove the trims from your transmitter) or update `TRIM_ROLL/PITCH/YAW` directly during flight via telemetry and QGC.
Alternatively, if you feel comfortable flying in manual mode, you can also set the trim values manually:
1. Disable auto-trimming using [FW_ATRIM_MODE](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#FW_ATRIM_MODE).
1. Fly in manual mode and trim your remote (with the trim switches).
1. Report the values to `TRIM_ROLL/PITCH/YAW` (and remove the trims from your transmitter) or update `TRIM_ROLL/PITCH/YAW` directly during flight via telemetry and QGC.
