I used to wind in full nose up trim on my L4 Cub and she would flutter down the approach at idle in a 3 point attitude. Made landings dead easy.

When I tried it in the Auster it felt as if I was trying to loop. Ooops, much more effective trim......Had to think about it then and just trim as appropriate. Ooooh these complex aeryplanes

Bad habits, I had plenty after flying the Cub from a grass strip. Took a bit of willpower to go out and pick out as many faults as I could before my bi-ennial flight test with the man from the CAA (which I passed I hasten to add) instead of just fannying around like I usually do
