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

Here's a link to Peter Goldsmith's trimming guide, it's very good.
