what i have found works for me.... not that im saying i am doing anything right.....
while idling along when im ready to throttle up i drop the tabs all the way down and make sure the drives are all the way in. as im throttling up you can hear when the motor sound changes as its overcoming all the drag. once the nose starts to drop a lil i start running the tabs up but keeping from stickn the nose in the air. then start trim'n the drives. by the time your at plane speed the tabs should be all the way out and the drives should be 1/4 to 1/3 out. Then you tune for what speed and conditions your running in.
