Default RE: Low and Fast Made Easy

David, I see what you are saying, but I have to disagree. I do not trim my planes for level flight at wide open throttle. All of my planes seem to have a comfortable speed at which I typically fly them. This speed varies from model to model, but that is where I trim for hands off flight. Typically at wide open throttle the planes are wanting to climb a little. Not having to push the stick back and forth through neutral position gave me a great deal more feel for the plane and made it much easier to make those very minor adjustments needed low to the ground. Plus I had a pretty hard time forcing myself to push forward on the elevator while only a couple of feet from the ground.
