Default New to GLOW flight. Non-linear throttle?

Yeah, for the average engine that's pretty normal in my experience. So-called half throttle, going by stick position, is usually about 70 or 80 percent full power. Some more expensive engines and carbs will have a more linear response. Others may have different experiences with their engines, but all of mine have behaved more or less as you describe.
