The drag_polar.py example purports to have a trim drag option that can be toggled. However, it uses the OM BalanceComp to achieve this, but it doesn't have a Newton solver with which to drive the balance comp, so in effect it does nothing at all and the trim calc is wrong / not happening.
Steps to reproduce issue
Run drag_polar.py with trim drag turned on
Current behavior
CM not being balanced by tail rotation
Expected behavior
CM balanced to 0 by tail rotation

The tail is too small to actually trim the airplane at appreciable angles of attack. The Newton solver wants huge tail rotations at the outer edges of the polar
