what are your techniques for trimming the main sail and the sail tension expecially when fllying a hull, and the main sheet to contronl bank of boat to keep from flipping over, what part does the sail tension play when you are flying hull.

sheet in harder, more heel

To stay up on one hull I use a combination of main sheet (sheet in to go up and sheet out to go down) for course adjustments and use the tiller for fine adjustments.

To get better - practice, practice, practice.
