Default RE: Knife edge trimming question

Ahhh, trimming and aerodynamics: instant bloodbath [8D]

I'm with Bryan and Arch on this one. We all sorta traded notes last fall, and figured out we've been doing it for a long time now. But since I have been so focused on these Black Magics, I wasn't sure if it really applied to ther planes or just my stuff. I am really glad to discover that there really is a common ground. I really like the way Bryan spelled it out, that's experience right there. And guts, knowing he was going to take a beating over it, and doing it anyway! Here's your official "atta boy" Bryan!

Oh and the subject at hand? You have the info. Use it or don't, it's up to you. What do you have to lose? If it doesn't work what have you lost? I bet it works though

Of course all planes behave a little differently....but not THAT differently. Although if you like the way the 0-0 set up feels fly it that way. Personally it feels really loose and goosey (technical term LOL) to me. I'll take this method with this plane right now, and if I change my mind down the road? So be it. But it's going to take a lot.....
