Why is my throttle 3/4 closed at cruise?

I assume you are flying something like a 115c or other aerobatic trainer?
Like another poster mentioned about props, this machine was probably built
with emphasis on climbing, not cruising.
How about takeoff? Do you only use partial throttle? What does the tach read
when you throttle up?


Yes, it is a 115C. I do use full throttle at takeoff and climb. Usually
around 2300 at the start of the roll. After takeoff, I have to be careful
to keep the pitch to about 80 kts to stay under redline. At level-off,
power reduction always comes before pitch down.
