Default RE: angle of incedence and speed

Trim speed depends on weight, airspeed and air density (area being constant).
For any trimmed condition, adding power climbs, decreasing power descends.
As weight is burned off, the plane will climb at the trimmed condition.
To maintain altitude, the trim will change as weight is burned off.
