RE: How often does Trim need to be set on same plane
The first time you fly the model you should make all of the big trim adjustments. After that you may make minor adjustments depending on a variety of factors like how picky you are, the temperature, density, throttle setting, and how full the fuel tank is. I have a couple of planes that I need to adjust everytime I fly. When I take off I usually end up needing a click or two of up to account for the full fuel tank. Then as the fuel burns off I end up putting in a little bit of down. It isn't real necessary, but I'm picky that way.
If you find you have to make a big trim change between flights then you need to land. Something is wrong and you need to find out what.
