I certainly am not laughing at you.
Is there a better way of setting (balancing) a model airplane ?

I do not endorse shutting the engine completely.
With electric it is easy to restart but with glow or gas it is not practical to have a heavy starting system on bboard to start the engine while airborn.

I believe it is preferable to set thngs up so that at best gliding speed the prop rotation has zero angle of attack so that it does not provide thrust nor drag.

To each his own outlook.. I am not telling anyone what to do, only what I do.
