Default Throttle stick position while flying!!!

Hi y'all

Happy New Year 2011.

I'd like to ask a question, that goes to Electric/EDF, Glow Engine, Gasser and Turbine engines. We all know that when the plane is ready to hit the runway we gotta push the stick gradually to the full throttle then plane takes off and gets airborne. How about once the plane gets to the good safe altitude what should be the position of the throttle stick.

I usually fly full-throttle /WOT but do change it to half from time to time, naturally different people may have different practice, what I'm trying to ask that does it make if a plane is flown on a consistent full-throttle or not? I'd like to ask y'all your experiences and your practices what do you usually prefer your throttle's position 100, 3/4, 1/2 or 1/4.

Thank y'all in advance


Mody
