Hugger, Gray Beard

First of all Thanks a lot for sharing your great experiences with me. You both are absolutely right, there is no definite answer to it and this topic is a long going topic. I fly my Strega 40 with Magnum .46 XLS mostly full throttled, and lately I have started flying half to 3/4 throttled, which I tend to enjoy. Winds condition over here are usually 5 to 9 Mph range but gusts may exceed upto 14 Mph still ain't bad.

Tomorrow the wind is perfect 4 to 6 mph, mostly sunny, and I'm gonna fly my plane mostly 1/2 throttled. I have just ordered ASP's 2 Stroke .52 size engine which I read and heard is a great powerhouse and it's going to be delivered on Monday and I'm very excited about it to break in.

I swaying around these 3 planes, but

So again, with Magnum .46 on Strega I'm gonna try 1/2 throttle, but with Yak which I'd mostly like to get hopefully in couple of weeks, I'd like full throttle. Just asking one more thing, does half throttle make plane little vulnerable towards crash and does half and full throttle practice go same way with either 2 or 4 Stroke motors?


Thanks again
