I agree with Minniflyer, I've been using Golden Rods for years with never a trim problem due to temperature.
I prolly fly a little different than most folks. I set my airplanes up so that I can kill the engine at altitude to try and thermal. Don't laugh- I've thermaled a Stick 40 for 45 minutes before and I've slope soared trainers (to show the trainee what can be done) in front of tree rows! I like to get 'em up there then just watch and , to me, looks very realistic. It's very relaxing and control inputs need to be minimal- thus the detection of changes in plastic tube pushrod lengths and flight trim. If you are a flip-flop flyer or just like to yank and bank then trim prolly doesn't matter. Don't mean to hijac thread- apologies!
