Default RE: Knife edge trimming question

I used Bryan's method (+ inc. and CG fwd) on my G3.5 sims and it worked to neutralize the coupling on several planes. Joe Bridi specified a half degree positive in the wing on the Dirty Birdy (just checked the plans to confirm my faded memory). I have long considered his DB flights, that I observed at Lake Charles, as some of the smoothest I ever witnessed. Not saying that it wasn't mostly piloting skill. Never could convince myself to build in that (what seemed excessive) positive incidence though. Until now. Thanks Bryan.
