Default Re: rudder or engine thrust

Al: For the most part, engine thrust is set by establishing a vertical upline (your plane must have unlimited vertical). Hold the line and let your thumbs off the transmitter. Adjust thrust until the plane tracks straight up "hands off". Rudder trim is done on horizontal flight. Of course thrust to weight has a lot to do with it. If you don't have unlimited vertical, upline testing is useless. What plane is it? Engine size? Weight? What type of flying are you into?
