The GSA 28 yaw damper has the ability to drive the auxiliary rudder
trim motor at various speeds.
Slowest Auto The Slowest Auto Trim Motor Speed should be set so the auxiliary
Trim Motor trim motor will move as slowly as possible. The slowest possible
Speed (expert movement will ensure that there is no noticeable aircraft response
configuration) when the auxiliary trim motor is run during autotrim.
The Slowest Auto Trim Motor Speed can be adjusted from 5% to
100% in 5% steps.
The GSA 28 servos can limit the maximum continuous run time of
the trim motor. This can be used to help prevent the potential for a
trim runaway situation.

The Maximum Trim Run Time Limit is the maximum amount of time
Run Time
the trim servo will be run continuously when a manual electric trim
input is detected. If the maximum time is exceeded, the pilot will
need to release the Manual Electric Trim (MET) control and then
reassert it to continue running trim.
The GSA 28 yaw damper is capable of zeroing the aircraft's lateral
acceleration or centering the ball as well as dampening aircraft yaw
rates.

Increasing the Ball Centering Gain will cause the yaw damper
to more aggressively respond to non-zero lateral acceleration.
Decreasing the Ball Centering Gain will cause the yaw damper to
respond less aggressively to non-zero lateral acceleration.
