Default RE: Proper Trimming Power Setting

The thing about trimming is if you set it up right and trim for airspeed it is now a constant. It will, within reason, maintain a fairly constant airspeed. My way if you want to maintain speed but want to descend just reduce power and it will drop the nose to maintain speed. If you want to fly that way it works great, if you want to fly as you do it would be frustrating as all get out. That is the great part about flying. I don't have a bone to pick with you and I agree your way is great for high performance style flying, but for lazy day flying it is just not that good. With my style if while flying you encounter turbulence and the planes attitude is disturbed give it a sec and it will smooth out, with yours you have to right it. I do have planes set up like yours, I just don't enjoy them as often as I used to, but then I am not 20 anymore, or 30 for that matter, Aw man! Im not even 40 anymore. Now you got me all depressed. Thanks a lot![:@]
