Default RE: How to Cool Down Hot Approaches

Forestroke,

I really can't recommend mixing throttle with ANY flight control. Also, during approach, you'd not want to have to add/kill a mix when you need to make a quick adjustment. You need to practice to the point where it's instinctive. Having to recall whether you turned the mix on or off delays any kind of reaction if you need to react to something quickly, such as a gust. The simpler you can make things, the better.

Bax - I have electronic trim on my tx so it may be a little more difficult to get the right trim every time but it will be a good start. What do you recommend about mixing throttle - elevator? I assume that is not recommended as it may lead to ballooning mid-flight. But if I could turn the mixing on and off... what do you think?
