5 Steps to Trimming a Pattern Plane

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Don,
I don't understand the throttle to elevator/aileron mix issue.  I've not seen this as a way of correcting things.  I would assume the T/E mix is to reduce tuck to the belly or canopy, but I'm used to using wing incidence for this.  If the plane rolls on downlines then we are usually dealing with a twist in the wings/stab or both.  

confused..
