Default RE: Do all gas engine planes require 4 channels?

Thanks for the heads up on the speed difference of 4-6 times. That will make a huge difference. However, can't I simply throttle the LT 40 down with the speed controler to a level where I am comfortable, then slowly speed it up? Or will it not fly properly unless I am going 4 to 6 times faser than areobird. Aerobird can go up to 15 to 20 MPH. I have a hard time grasping that a starter trainer can go up to 90 MPH. Even 60 MPH would seem a lot faster than I would imagine. Then again, thats why I am asking questions. These are very important things to know.

I guess the main question is, why cant I just throttle it down to a level where I am comfortable?

Thanks,
