As a pilot gains experience and progresses up the competition ladder, he or she quickly learns that every point counts. Attention must not only be given to perfecting a particular sequence, but also the aircraft’s setup. If you are too focused on correcting any odd tendencies that an airplane may exhibit because of a lack of proper trimming efforts, the result will be downgrades. This will affect how you place in competitions.
