the troll

gave a decent answer to the original question. Can someone else give a try at answering the original question because I have been wondering the same thing?

I don't think all that jive about engine thrust is really practical. I will agree that it is probably all true, but I would much rather hit the trim button a couple times in the air and be done with it rather than having to land and shim the engine. That is rediculous,lol.

But I have been wondering about that question. It seems with my LT-40 that the rudder makes it turn and go nose down, and slighly roll in the direction of the turn. The ailerons roll and make it go nose down (with no elevator in put). The difference is distinct when trying manuevors. For examples you hold elevator long enough, it will roll, hold ruddy long enough your spiral. However it is not so clear when moving just small amounts such as trimming it. When trimming the rudder or the aileron I have a difficult time telling the difference. I too just leave the rudder centered but how do you know for sure to trim with ailerons or rudder?
