I can honestly say that I'm glad this thread was started as it has helped me to gain a better understanding of how to properly trim out a plane, and had I had this information when I setup my first pattern plane, my scores would definitely have been alot better..... but instead of correcting the issue, I had to learn to compensate for the misalignments that I had in the plane. And running out of rudder when trying to do stall turns is not a good thing.............

I can now go back to my plane and attempt to correct some of the errors I made when putting this ARF together, and hopefully not have to fight the plane so much when I'm trying to do various maneuvers.........

Thank you for having this thread out here, and for all the comments and suggestions on how to correct these issues.
