[NSRCA-discussion] trimming question

[Jim Woodward]

Hi Anthony,

The short and skinny on this is that if you fly a 45 degree line upright,
roll inverted, the plane should continue on this line for a short bit then
start arcing back towards mother earth.  If it maintains the 45 or climbs,
it is too tail heavy for my taste.  If it arc's down immediately, it is too
nose heavy and while it will help somethings, generally, makes rolling
maneuvers a tad more difficult than they need to be.

Jim W.

For checking CG I had relied on rolling inverted from level flight and 
checking for how much forward stick was needed. I have also seen this done 
on a 45. Wouldn't this bias toward tail heavy? What is the advantage of 
either?

Anthony
