All conventionally configured aircraft will demonstrate a pitch change and deviation from the trim speed with any change in power. With one exception of a high pylon mounted engine the airplane will pitch up with increased power and pitch down with a power reduction. In other words the trim speed changes. You can trim the airplane perfectly for any given power setting but any later power change and it will be out of trim.
In your early flights the instructor/mentor will most likely do the trimming for you and/or talk you through some trim changes. At some point you must learn to do in flight trimming and its not hard but a surprising number never learn this skill.
I've trimmed for half throttle and slightly above with well powered plane. That answers my question though. I'll work more on trimming pitch for different situations. Normally I've compensated for slight variations from the trim setting with the stick while managing to not be bouncy. But I'll focus more specifically on pitch
trimming from now on. Good point.

practice finding the pitch and roll trims (mode 11 right stick) with their left thumb with out ever looking. In this way they never let go of the pitch and roll stick (which is likely they are holding pressure on since we are trying to trim anyway)
I've practiced trimming generally without looking down and feeling where it is, but not enough. I'll do that more.
Thanks
