Default Servo trim adjusting

It might work, up to a point, but it's not really necessary. There's really not that big a rush to start trimming the plane after lift off. It's not usually that hard to hold the needed trim in with the sticks until a good, safe altitude is reached. Then you have time to play with the trim. If it's so bad it's out of range of the trims, you can still usually get it back down in one piece. A novice flier could get in trouble pretty quick, and that's why it's not a bad idea to let a seasoned pilot do the first trim flight. But keep the ideas coming!
