The Europa XS Rotax 914 engine manual issue 8, which i happened to have in
my hands, says quote"You should set the throttle closed stop so that a fully
warmed engine idles at 1200-1400 rpm. Although the engine idles more smoothly
at 1600 rpm or more, when landing the aircraft you will benefit from minimal
residual trust."
Makes sense, and i am thinking of a spring kind of closed throttle stop,
pull to fully close, release to normal 1600 rpm. Would that work?
I think it is good practise to carry out landings and take offs with one
hand firmly on the throttle.. In this case there is no need to have any sort of
automatic system which will give you a reversion to any particular throttle
setting.
