Not really, I went a couple decades of flying before I really started paying attention to a proper setup and trimming. As long as you are having fun and the airplane meets your expectations then it's...

Good call on sealing the hinge line. For an airplane of that wing area and relitivly small ailerons the 3/32" differential is going to be pretty darned close. You are correct that in order to get it...
