RE: Throttle stick position while flying!!!
For the experienced fliers (like Gray Beard) the stick keeps moving. For the rest of us the stick is mostly at 50% for glow airplanes.
Personally, I find that even with some wind, WOT is not necessary even at take-off on most of my airplanes. On my trainer I never ever went to WOT at takeoff (55ax, 65" span high winger). Then on my Tiger, I used it only when a takeoff run was not possible, or where there needed to be a hand-launch. On my Reactor and Topstar, I am able to takeoff at 60% throttle (55AX and FS91-SII resp). I sometimes go to WOT when I need to gain speed quickly or in the hover when it is about to fall out, but even that is very rare
As a foot-note, we found that most of the "40 sized" trainers can be flown even with a 32 size engine and you can do aerobatics also on the same if you manage the energy
