Check in you mixes that the "Trim" setting is still ticked.

Bug confirmed on 9XT as well, loaded heli template.. It also affects the throttle trim. The only one that works is the Rud trim.
Trims are enabled.

Ok, this is due to code that looks for the trims being used, and disables them, so the trim switches may be used a button inputs, if they are not in use.
I missed the AIL and ELE trims being used on the CYCx mixes.
It looks like the HELI template sets the throttle trim as NOT included in any throttle mixes, I have no idea why as I don't fly Helis myself.

I'll fix the bug on ELE and AIL.
For the throttle, if you want the trim, just tick it in the Thr mixes.
As a work-around for the AIL and ELE trims, set up a couple of mixes on ununsed channels (e.g. 23 and 24 or 31 and 32 if on the "b1" test version) one that has Ail as source and the other with Ele as source. Make sure they include the Trim (the default setting).

What you said about the trimming in the throttle worked right here on my radio, now I'm going to wait for the bug fix, something else in the r212 version worked, the update will exit the program EepSKYe

Be aware that I'm now building the firmware with extra channels and mixes available, so if I post a bug fix, it will be with these changes in as well, so will need a bit more checking before you fly with it.
The work-around does fix the problem.

Please explain what is happening in eepskye exactly?

Those are not versions. Those are files for the different radios and boards and they are all the same version. The version reference is on the name of the zip file you've downloaded.
Download the latest zip file.

If you have the 9XR-PRO, then you need the file ersky9xr_rom.bin.
I haven't had time to post the trim fix yet, I'll try to do it today.

Mike.
Throttle trim is not that much of an issue with electric helis, but it is essential for glowplug powered ones to set the required idle speeds at certain stages of throttle.

I had not noticed the issue until seeing the recent updates having not flown anything so far this year.

Throttle trim ought to be on by default for helis Mike.

I can adjust the template to put the trim in.
The template has 6 entries for mixes using the "Thr" stick as source, none have trim included, 3 on channel 5 and 3 on channel 11.
Does the trim need to be included on all 6?

Had a look Mike. The TRIM only needs to be set on the actual THROTTLE control channel. Not on the additional ones in mixes linked to it (such as Chan11 etc.), otherwise it can lead to blade pitch changes.
