Default RE: adjust the CG or trim

Trim first. One way to check your CG in flight is to trim for level flight, then put it in a dive, at maybe 30 degrees, then let go of the controls. If it climbs sharply, it's nose heavy; if it dives much more steeply, it's tail-heavy. If nothing exciting happens, you're OK.
