Default RE: Interest in build photos

Thanks Jim. As a dyed-in-the-wool free flighter I'm always trimming planes to fly as flat as possible in the glide. Probably a habit I should not apply to R/C planes. With about 1 1/2 degrees of downthrust, 1 1/2 + in the wing and the stab at zero it will most likely climb at full power, but fly fairly level at 1/2 to 1/3 throttle which is what I'm aiming for. So, I will have some positive stab in relation to the thrust line. Of course, we'll have to see what actually happens in the air. I'll trim in flight to fly level at 1/2 throttle and check out the elevator.
