Default RE: ELEVATOR TRIM

Im just setting up my DX6i for my New GP Cherokee for its Maiden, what i plan too do as a test, is at first cruise 50% throttle let go stick and see how it fly's,and do trim adjustments as needed,as of now i needed 1oz too the tail cause i decided too get a 6v 5C 2700Mah for the receiver/servos which added Weight up Front , im getting a Du -Bro 1oz Spinner nut, cause the Plastic one that came with it,ant going too last i can tell lol,...so looks like ill have too add another oz.
Every Plane Fly's different and as stated before its kinda Fliers Preference on what throttle Percentage too adjust trim. But seems like what ever you Cruise at would be the best option,lol its kinda a rule of thumb when flying a real Plane.
What im Planning on doing (Which Ive looked for and haven't came across in these forums) is enabling about 2-3 degrees of elevator up with the first notch of Flap,for ease of lift off,i know its not going too be necessary too have my 1st notch of flap for Climb out,but i think it'll add too realizam of flying,and when coming in for landing doing the opposite of 2-3 degrees of elevator down with full flaps,which well be enabled when i hit my toggle for the first notch of flap Via D/R Combi options in the Dx6i and im assuming many other higher end TX's.

Has anyone else experimented with setting D/R's and tieing the flaps/elevator?Just Curious.

Thanks
