RE: Throttle position for level flight vs. landing?
I trim a little differently than most people. I trim for full throttle and full speed. When the plane comes out of a turn, it generally takes nearly a full straight away to gain top speed and reach the speed I have trimmed for.
When I land or am doing touch and goes, I don't retrim for approach speed. I just hold the amount of up elevator needed for the speed I want to go.
