The answer to your question is actually very simple…..as much as required, you may be using more flaps….different CG, may fly your approach way faster ect there’s some factors to take into consideration…I never put anything for compensation…..the first flight I do rough trimming and see how she fly land and repeat….until I’m happy, then work on the gyro setup…..ect ect….

So go out and trim your plane for your situation…
