Hey Pete, you are a wealth of knowledge.

I wouldn't go that far

Y'know you probably can get away without the trim on the slave. as long as you don't have to dial in too much. Once you get the plane flying hands free, adjusting the slave surface to match the position of the master may be fine. That said, I don't think that this would be a good idea if you were going to do a giant scale aerobatic ship for IMAC competition, but a sport model will probably be fine. Consider the typical sport model with elevator halves joined by a torque rod wire joiner, does the half driven by the torque rod match the other half under flight loads?
Maybe someone else will chime in on the trim issue.
Pete
