Bill, or anyone,
Can you explain the basic trim settings that cause a plane to fly flat vs nose up. For instance, I can trim a plane to fly flat by simply decreasing the negative incidence of the stab, but then my plane will not be flying near stall which I have read is the optimum for duration. So, it must involve more that simply less negative stab incidence.
Thanks,
Gary

        Thanks to you both for that! I've preached that technique for so long I'm sick of hearing myself talk about it. But the credit goes to Bernie Hunt.

Bill,
            

            
            
Actually brett and I both said today that they look like a "Gowen" F1D.....
            

            
            
Also, they recover from tail slides and stalls very well, and handle the turbulence well too.
