Trimming out a 3D/Pattern Plane
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to go about trimming out a 3D/pattern plane? I want to know in what order is best and how to accomplish each phase of the trim/setup process. I am new to this sport/hobby so a nice detailed step by step process that may already be on a website would be great.

I'll also add that you have to make up your mind do you want 3D or pattern, 3D generally uses a much farther back cg and huge throws where pattern uses less throws and a more forward cg.

RE: Trimming out a 3D/Pattern Plane
Thanks for all the responses, especially the link to nsra. That was what I was looking for. Now if I could just figure out all the terminology I think it would make more sense. As far as which I'm am trimming /setting up for I really haven't decided what I like best yet because I just started flying a few months ago. I'm leaning more towards pattern right now so I guess that is what I will trim/setup for. I have an Extra 330 from Seagull and I just bought my first computer 6 ch radio the other day
