Nice! I like the soundtrack in the ultralight video... Looks like you might use some down trim so you're not having to fight the nose down all the time though!

Are you using rudder pedals or a twist grip stick? Mine's a twist grip, and I always hated flying helos for any extended period of time in FSX because my wrist gets real tired from holding the rudder in the right place just to fly straight and level.

The faster you go, the more lift the wings generate, which makes the plane want to climb. Trim is how you counteract that, so if you leave the stick centered the plane will fly level. Most people have up and down trim mapped to a couple buttons to make it easy... Pretty much anytime you change airspeed you end up adjusting trim to compensate.
