need to properly trim a plane.  I realize that many RV pilots fly with their
planes slightly out of trim and it doesn't matter a bit to them.  For those
of you "picky" guys like me that want the plane to fly hands-off in calm
air, be aware that achieving perfect pitch trim is not as easy as it might
seem.
