Default RE: Trim Question

Pulling to the canopy on downlines is NORMAL. However, you can address this by creating a mix that allows for a certain percentage of down elevator at idle. I've got this in my Comp-Arf 2.6. I used 6% down at idle. This gives me straight down lines when the throttle is pulled ALL the way back to idle. When at least one click of throttle is given, the the program is nullified and I'm back to regular flight mode. The only thing is I've got to remember during hammerheads and spins, right at the stall point, that I've got to at least leave on click of throttle or things turn really ugly. I've just got it on a switch and after I take off, I flip the switch. Then I flip it when I'm ready to land. BTW, I've forgotten to switch it when I did land, and it wasn't all that bad. In fact, it was really quite easy, but I'd rather remember the switch. Try it.. It really works great.
