Gyrene - Trim doesn't create any additional lift for the wings and/or elevators to carry you into a tighter turn.

Too much trim will give you the opposite results of what you want to achieve. If I use the trim (rarely) I almost immediately go back to combat trim after the desired effect.

Just to clarify what I said: At low speeds I use manual trim to adjust the plane to a neutral ...or slightly nose up trim.  I never trim to make the plane turn tighter .....too much trim bleeds off energy
