Default QUESTION ABOUT TRIMMING (MIXING)

Perhaps some one could advise. One of my models requires a little down mix with low throttle. I presume if this is the case then this mix, unlike most other mixes such as rudder - aileron, is left on only temporarily and taken off for landing.

Yeah ... what Nigel asked is something I liked to know too. I put my mix on a switch and I only switch on the mix when I am doing downlines and certain uplines. On level flight I feel the mix pulling the plane down on low or high throttle. Do most people switch it off for level flight or is it because I am so used to holding UP elevator that with the mix on I am just not used to the difference?
