Re: six degree trim
Trim will vary a bit depending on gross weight and configuration. For a civilian Mustang most pilots will use 6-0-0 meaning 6 degrees right rudder trim, 0 aileron trim and 0 elevator trim.thewoo1 wrote:is the six degree right aerilon just for take off. ty
Naturally for a military 51 the GW will be a bit higher so you might want to have a bit of positive elevator trim cranked in. Ailerons are usually left at 0.

Actually, iirc it doesn't trim you for takeoff, it trims you out for the first power reduction just AFTER takeoff (METO if I remember correctly), so you will still have to steer the aircraft DURING takeoff
Orville's law: when the altitude of the ground at your current location exceeds the altitude of your aircraft, you have most assuredly crashed.
