A flywheel weight will give you a smoother idle and more consistant RPM (assuming the weight is balanced)
I think more trainers should have them.
Most people who fly don't adjust the throttle except to land or tak off.
With that kind of operation you will see the biggest benefit from a flywheel.

I just started flying, 16 flights so far. On the 3rd flight I broke the motor mount, and when I replaced the mount ,I also installed an Evo .46 trainer engine, in place of the Supertigre GS40 I had in it.
My question is, when flying, is there always a 3/4 second or so pause when you operate the throttle. I did`nt notice this ,the 3 flights with the Supertigre but I was really wound up the first 3 or so flights and don`t remember.
The Evo has a flywheel weight on it and was running a 11x5 prop.
Or? is it the time it takes the sound to get back to me. I`m a newbie , what can I say lol?
