Has anyone with the FSX Stearman had difficulties with the elevator trim? I've hardly flown this because it always seemed to fly unreasonably fast and was hard to take off and land, but I now realise this is because the elevator trim seems to be very nose-down by default. In other words, when the trim is set to neutral, the aircraft flies at 110mph (PT-17) or 120mph (N2S-3), requiring full power to even approach straight and level flight. With full nose-up trim, the PT-17 flies at about 65mph, and the N2S-3 at 75mph.
This doesn't seem right, because it means I need full nose-up trim (a lot of turns of the wheel) for the approach and takeoff. Can the trim range be altered by tweaking something in the aircraft.cfg?

I think this is sorted - in that there isn't anything wrong, it just needs a lot of trim! I have mapped the trim to a lever, which makes it much easier to use.
