Since we were doing a lot of vertical maneuvers and rolls, I wanted my elevators to be as trimmed to neutral as possible so I don't burn any unnecessary E because there might be a situation were I need all the E I can muster and when I get an angle on the target, I don't want to have to fight any positive lift to keep my guns on the target.
But would have trimming my elevators up hindered my fight? Nope. Would it have helped? Depending on the situation yes it could have, at the least it could have made the fight shorter.

Thanks akak I was wondering if that does help me and I do know when i do use it and have to straiten out my nose, my nose gets bouncey until I can get trim back to nuetral. hehe kindof wish would move just a tad faster but Im starting to get the hang of it. After watching the film again I seen you really had no use to use it.
