G'day Mate,
It really depends on what sort of plane it is, a pattern type aircraft, should fly the same when trimmed for full power as it does for 1/2 power, BUT a trainer is usually trimmed for straight & level flight at around 1/2 throttle, so that adding power will induce a slight climb, very helpful while learning landing approaches. So it all depends on the plane in question.
What sort of plane are we referring to here Kostas?
SuperSportster 40 and Do 46!
