Hi Troy,
Belated congratulations on your first flight.
I'm no expert and only have been in 2 Europas, mine and Chris Staines
mono.
Both of us need nose down trim in cruise, during my first flights, it
seemed to me that perhaps slightly less incidence on the wing
could have been used for more efficient flying, now I just accept the
fact that nose down trim is required on my aircraft.
Regards,
Dave, C-FBZI
