Default RE: Wind 110 trimming

Hi
I have not been out to fly mine since I test flew it. Work commitments etc getting in the way. Everyone seems to have the same problem of needing a little up elevator to get the plane to fly straight and level. To me this is ridiculous, the plane should have been designed to have zero trim required ( cg permitting), however from the limited flight experience I have had with it, it didnt seem to balloon when you suddenly chop the power. So that indicates the down thrust is about right. Go figure?

This contrasts with my now dead Angel S that needed no trim at all except one click of left aileron and only a gentle squeeze of down elevator when inverted.

I will know more when I get it back in the air and get to explore the flight envelope a little.
It does look gorgeous on the ground and in the air but I would have expected more from a Sebart plane and would make me think twice about spalshing the cash for it's bigger brother.

I await the flak.

Mike
