October 26, 200520 yr As far as triming the aircraft (any aircraft) it depends on what your environment is doing. I know I like flying with lots of wind and turbulance. This has a huge effect on trim. Once you get any aircraft trimmed, the trim will be fine in smooth air. Once you hit rough air, it throws your plane around slowing it down, speeding it up, etc. You have to then re trim....Kevin
October 26, 200520 yr The flight model is as perfect as possible within the limits of FS. Trim issues are usually the result of controller gremlins. I'd trust Steve Small's flight dynamics over any other dev out there. I'm sure they're right on.

Editing the .cfg to tone it down only resulted>in the trim running to the stops and unable to maintain S&L.Can't say I really noticed a problem with those airplanes either. In the past, I flew both quite regularly, and certainly didn't worry about changing .cfg files. I trim with a hat switch on my Saitek joystick, and always trim as required, as a matter of habit.Now that I just put the 337 through it's paces again, it trims just as easy as any other good air file, and has no tendency to leap into the air, when trim is set around neutral for the takeoff roll.As to long jaunts of straight & level, and not wanting to keep my eye on altitude excursions, I use the A/P's.L.Adamson
