Makes sense, right? Many planes, especially high-wing trainer and sport planes with flat bottom airfoils, benefit from trimming in both high-speed cruising flight and in gliding mode (for landing approaches). Aileron and rudder trim should be identical for both cases, but may not be... we'll see how to deal with that in a minute.
