A veteran flyer once told us to watch how the model flies and increase or
decrease the pitch accordingly. Unfortunately we didn't ask what we should
look for in the model's flight. We have noticed when the pitch is way too
high the model won't climb and if it is a little too high, it takes a higher
torque to reach the ceiling. Is the optimal pitch is the one that takes the
lowest torque to reach the ceiling?

Last year we stumbled onto a pitch that seem to work and optimized the
rubber width to that pitch. Did we have the process backward? Should we have
picked a rubber width for the ceiling height and then optimized the pitch to
the rubber width? As a beginner I certainly don't have the answers to these
questions.
