Default RE: Torque effect of larger engine on launching

CP, I think it may have been more a trim problem than torque, but the extra power has an effect on trim too. I'm using more down trim than before at full speed, which it does not need at launch. It was wanting to dive after lauch so now I know to give it a little up trim for the lauch. The roll to one side has been adjusted out too. Anything that is not in proper trim(or working correctly) will really show up with the extra power. I learned that last year with the .074 powered Simple Extra, I crashed it more times than I flew it. This one has more than made up for that one.
