To save computations, XFLR5 determines the a.o.a. such that the induced pitching moment from pressure forces = ICm =0 Cm, which includes in addition the moment from the viscous drag is not quite zero. The difference is in the second order of magnitude

Trimmed conditions
The pitch-balanced conditions are achieved for =-0.99 The speed in pitchbalanced conditions is V=13.9 m/s
The balanced a.o.a., speed, and glide ratio are very sensitive to the slope of the curve ICm=f(), and therefore to CoG position
