Default Trainer keeps wanting to climb, how to trim a plane q's

99GrandTouring,

On the first flight my Xtra Easy also wanted to climb at low thrittle settings. What I did was adjust the elevator clevise to give a little down elevator when the controls and trims are centered. Just unclasp the clevise from the control horn, turn it in a couple of turns then get back in the air. Final adjustments can be made with trim. I adjusted mine so it would maintain level flight at 1/3 throttle or so. It will still do basic aerobatics without much trouble. Hope this helps.
