trimming for a balanced airplane.....advice?

[JEFFRO503]

Guys....

what is your method of trimmimng out your airplane after maiden flight is done? What i mean is , after you do the couple clicks here and couple clicks there what are your next steps?

Obviously , you have to find your right balance. Some like it a tad tail heavy ( as i do ) and some like a perfectly centered CG.

But what flight sequences do you fly , and in what order? As in , flying a strait line upward , 45 degree up lines , regular and inverted flight?


I know some guys use 30 - 50 flights to finally be happy with their airplane.

what's the best method you use for all of this?

Or , if you have a link to an already extensive thread , that would be good to. I just wanted to hear it from some guys who have a system down , but haven't possibly posted as well.

thanks for you help.
