Hi Scoth,
the reason you cannot use on throttle setting is when you reduce pitch and get close to zero (mid stick) the RPM's will be too high causing damage. This can be very dangerous I strongly suggest you do not set the throttle to a fixed position. In my experience 50-25 percent throttle seems to be adequate @ zero pitch.
Please see the new Mamo-Models system this is the best system available soon through Horizon Hobby.
