Next season I am going to do more of what most seem to do these days and really try to get a plane to fly as completely neutral as I can.
I agree, pilot that plane sonny and use the rudder stick to make corrections! For pure contest like IMAC I can see going the extra to trim it out, but what has happened to the good ole days where flying a straight line was merely how well the pilot can feed in the inputs?

I too would like to get my plane to fly as neutral as possible so I'll likely be doing the same. I can't afford to wreck up a plane and I'd rather fly than build so I feel I'll have it longer by doing more IMAC flying and only careful 3D a few mistakes up!
