Default RE: Which Fail-Safe throttle position do you use?

It also depends upon your plane's design.

With a high dihedral trainer, I would set the elevator for the nose slightly nose up.

That way the plane will right itself, and may even land safely on it's own.

With a flat winged plane, neutral controls is about as good as it gets.
