It's not completely necessary, and I usually never use trimming except for rare cases, but I suppose it can help.

So basically, I can use it as an immediate "first-aid bandage" if need be as well?? What I mean by this is one night, I was dogfighting (trying to anyways) some 109's and one of them clipped my wing with a cannon and put a nice size hole in my right wing which then caused my plane to roll (not uncontrolabley, but annoyingly) to the right which I had to correct every few seconds or apply constant stick pressure, I could have used trim to fix this roll and level the plan out??
Call me a n00b but I find that freaking amazing. Any other little tips and tricks I should know?? Last night I tried some landings and that didn't go to well.
