Default foam kit flight trimming

I have a fancy foam edge and have been practiceing 3D flying on my sim. My question to you 3d pros is how extensive is your flight trimming on these kit planes and what all do you do. I am thinking that I'm kind of limited on what can be done trim wise on these planes. Thanks for any help and comments.

Default Re: foam kit flight trimming

With Foamies I skip the Thrust Triming (up/right) but will do the Rudder - Aileron, Rudder - Elevator, Low Throttle - Elevator, etc. It's good to eliminate anything you would have to fight as a Pilot. imho
