Could you find any such data on the heavy trimming necessary on the Spitfire, from a British source? Like the spitfireperformance site, for example?

Engineers have been known of mounting the things upside down on unfamiliar foreign equipment, you know.

Any trimming increases drag, reducing speed. Not irrelevent to a transport, you see.
this is incorrect. you use trim as it has a lesser drag penalty than using stick controls. a correctly trimmed plane should fly faster than the same plane being kept level using pilot input, no?

JtD - as for neutral trim point being settable in game, how would i go about doing this, or do you just mean dialing in trim for straight and level and that is the neutral point?
