Tom,
with just me in it, I'm near aft CG and need full up trim in cruise. In a
powered descent I have to maintain some down pressure on the stick.
With two it depends on how heavy the other is. Between even and 1/2 inch
in cruise...
When landing that depends on one or two up front. I've always had enough
"up trim" to fly hands off on final.
