Bill,
"Adjust the cruise first. Get the best combination of prop pitch and model
trim for the cruise."

We are big on low power trim flights. We wind to the same torque every time
and watch the flight and duration. On these low power trim flights too high
of a pitch shows up with the model dropping a little bit just after launch
before descending and does really cruise which results in a shorter
duration. Tomorrow we will back off the pitch to see what happens.

Nick,
"When trimming the model, look for a nose up attitude throughout the cruise,
that is a good indication of whether the prop pitch is high enough to pull
the model, or if the nose is down, the model is underpowered typically"

We will watch for this tomorrow in our trim flights.
Thanks,
Brant
