Thanks jaka.
I agree, it is not a necessary element for typical flight for a person, like myself,who enjoys <u>scaleflying </u>and has the plane<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> <u>correctlytrimed</u>at a particularspeed</span>, which is the primary reason for exploring the idea. I would like to have the ability to reduce speed, somewhat, and maintain elevation by having a little elevator automaticly "trimed" in when the throttle is pulled back. I,m notlooking for a way to balance the rate of speed with rate of elevator through the entirerange of the throttle to maintain elevation. That would bevertually impossible I would think,just slow the plane a little without having to constatnly apply up elevator or deploy flaps to maintain elevation.
Correct me if I wrong, but when in "auto pilot" on modern full scale planes (I'm not a "real" pilot), when the power is reduced or increased for that matter (to a certian degree), the elevator and / or flapsare automaticly adjusted without pilot in-putto maintain the desired elevation. Like AA5BY said "modern radios make life easier for us" so why not enjoy andexplore the possibillities.

Thanks for your resonce.

To AA5BY and jester_s1;
Very interesting discussion, I have learned alot from you exchange. As stated eariler, all my plans (scale models), to my knowledge, don't have a seriousthrust line problem and are balanced near the recommended CG andto my particular methoid of flying, just experimenting with an idea. Thanks for your insite.
