T-37B Tweety Bird primary jet trainer - trim and taxi problems

I've been flying the T-37B Tweety Bird, once the Air Force primary jet trainer, for my own FSX training flights. But I've found it nearly impossible to trim for level flight at any airspeed, and it can barely turn during ground taxi. Any suggestions for fixes? I could switch to the current Texan II, the nice IRIS freeware plane, but I'm fond of the Tweet, used to see them on occasion at March Air Force Base.

A lot of imports from FS9 are touchy in the pitch. As for taxing and turning, it works okay for me.

Tweet won't turn more than 5-10 degrees when I try to steer it off the runway, ends up in the grass every time. SIGH!

Which model is giving you issues?
Also RAZBAM has a new FSX native version in the works.

I'll look forward to the RAZBAM Tweety, but I hope to have 'graduated' by the time it comes out. I'm using the T-37 with Bill Stack's TopSkills sim books, doing the exercises as if I was a student-pilot, trying to be systematic about learning what I haven't learned!

I'm flying the same one. My only other criticism is that the trainer version should probably have two pilots, one representing the instructor.
I'm using the Saitek X52, no pedals, but no problems with taxi turns in my other planes.

Here's the one I'm flying in FSX and surprised it's not on this site. Using some VC updated repaints from another forum (SOH). I realize it represents an A-37 and not the base Tweet, but works fine for now.
