I certainly use stick bow to control the initial climb as necessary on F1D. What I referred to earlier was built in downthrust and I had in mind classes of model where this trimming device is not usable. Examples are models with very stiff sticks which do not bend appreciably even under full power.

Bob, just wondering, do you not have considerable motorstick bow at
launch, esp. with F1ds? I depend on that (downthrust) for launch
control.
