Default RE: Is My Trainer Plane Too fast?


ORIGINAL: chocorrol

aren't most planes designed to fly at 1/2- 3/4 throttle? I was taught that full throttle is only to take off and some maneuvers.
Most more advanced planes do not tend to climb at higher throttle like trainers do.

I trim my normal planes out for level flight at 80% throttle.

At 80% most trainers would be climbing fairly quickly.
