Throttle Target for Stall Speed?

martin johnson · Feb 06, 2002, 07:02 AM

Wondering if there is a general rule about throttle targets for stall speeds. While playing with eCalc I noticed different throttle ranges for different motor cell combinations as when it created a stall. Is there a rule of thumb you more experienced eflyers use i.e. stall at 30% throttle?

Stall speed can vary due to many factors and to a large extent has little to do with throttle setting. Any manouvre including turns increases the speed at which an aeroplane stalls due to the increased wing loading and drag so its not possible to come up with such a throttle setting.

The stall speeds given by programs like ecalc should be treated like all such information - as a guide only!
