Tall Paul;

I'm sorry to be so long winded! I'm confused about which dive test you were commenting on since I described two. So could you please comment directly on this piece of advice I was given:

"With plane trimmed put it into roughly a 45 degree dive and cut power. If it pulls up it's tail heavy, if it dives more it's nose heavy. I would say trim the plane at about half throttle or where you normally would fly at.
It's normal for a plane to climb at higher throttle levels, especially with more powerfull motors. The way to counter this is to add right and down thrust as necessary. The more powerfull the motor, the more you add."


Thanks - DP
