I searched the Archives on SSW for some trimming advice, but didn't find what I need. I'm sure it is there somewhere!

Basically, my Brodak Legacy is fine, but with too much line tension, even in overheads. I'm afraid it will pull my arm out of its old socket! Or, something might break!

Rather than go into the boring numbers on my plane, I would appreciate finding a tutorial on stunt trimming.

Funny, I like lots of tension. But a simple solution is just to slow it down a little bit.

Leonard. That's an easy fix, and I'll try that first. I haven't clocked lap time, but running a 11-6 Y&O on the ST51. I'll try larger diameter and a 5" pitch.
