Just wondered what incidence folks are using on their Anthems in order to get them to fly without pitching to the canopy on a vertical climb?

I started with 0.7 deg but have steadily increased this to 1.2 to 1.25 deg at which point the aircraft flies hands off on a vertical upline. My thinking was that as you add more incidence you need to add more down elevator trim to maintain level flight. In a vertical climb, the main wing provides zero lift and any nose up pitching is dealt with by the increased down elevator trim required for S&L flying.
