That's my problem - I DO NOT THINK IT IS CORRECT FOR ANY AIRCRAFT TO BE TRIMMED FOR THE CLIMB. Logically, it seems common sense to me to put the trim neutral state of any flying surface, aileron, elevator, rudder, whatever in the approximate middle of that a/cs speed range or at least at around the combat cruise setting, since then the out-trim-forces are balanced at opposite ends of the speed-range
Here's the problem, you "think".
That means you don't "know".

Is suggest you bring proof for your theories. Why drop a line to Flying heritage?
Or, maybe your even able to contact a ret. RAF testpilot.

Defending your point of view is much easier if you have something to show which actually backs ups your argument.
