When I set up the throttle end points on my gas engines, I set the linkage to make the carb throttle plate to be in its maximum open position. However, full power is reached with the throttle plate at approximately 2/3's wide open. Setting it up it for the maximum open position for the throttle plate seems like a waste of the servo resolution. Would it be better to set the linkage to the point which gives the maximum power?
yes. I have the servo horn at 95deg to the rod at full throttle so its maximum throw is in the last third. Then a throttle curve thrown in for good measure. Never had a plane hover under half throttle, not because lack of power.
