Default Optimum CG Range

One more little tid-bid. I have found when flying a flapped ship and

did. Moving the flaps did all the speed changes and moving the *trim
was not necessary. How's that check with you flapped guys?

Dissabled the trimmer completely on '20 (tape around trigger). Nice to
feel elevator feedback. '27 doesn't seem to like this as much though
have reduced trimming force. When CG is far enough back on '27 to "fly
the flaps" , it doesn't seem to fly as nice, at least for me. That
said, in CG position I like, the stick doesn't move much.
'28- always trim-trim trim- good reason not to circle.
