My students learn to fly the plane at the throttle setting which keeps it flying level with few inputs after it's been trimmed.
That's about 50% throttle or there-abouts.
At full throttle most trainers want to climb... so full throttle is not advisable.
Same here. I take the plane up and set it at a speed and trim so it will fly hands off straight and level, usually about half throttle. I keep my TX and the buddy box set the same and let the student start flying. It just makes no sense at all flying a trainer fast. I just installed an OS .91FS in a 60 size trainer. I was able to fly the basic pattern with the plane but when a friend and I set up the buddy box and got the plane in hands off trim it was set at half throttle. It's set up as a fun plane for me to fly and the student.
