Salute!
Great points, on the whole, Tom. Especially about instinctive use of that trim button/switch that seems to be missing from some of the newbie pilot bag of tricks.
I was taught from day one to roll that wheel in the Champ or Taylorcraft so I would not have to hold stick pressure. Later, my first IP when I went to jets told me if I didn't wear a hole in the thumb of my flying glove then I wasn't trimming enuf. paid off big time for next 4,000 hours.
More about the findings later, as we have severe wx rolling in here on north Gulf coast. Plus, a really big game over in Baton Rouge.
