RE: Mixing for KE help.
it will matter to some degree
for myself its half to 3/4 throttle when triming out
but its up to you
if you fly everything WOT then trim WOT
most areobatics are flown at half to 3/4 on a 3D plane though
also should mention that just because your plane is properly trimed and balanced
doesnt necessarily mean that all your coupling issues will go away
and ive had planes that i couldnt get to trim out in everyway
sometimes this can be accounted for with thrust angle
ive had some airframes that like down+ right thrust, some dead center
when you factor in thrust angle things can become very frustrating
a small change in thrust angle can really change the way a plane flys and trims out for that matter
also changing to a diffrent pitch/ diameter prop can make a big difference in the way a plane flys and or trims out
