fine so that looks like it was set up like that.<
If you are significantly lower than the RPM limit you will not be achieving
full power at take-off reducing the effectiveness of having a VP prop.
>One other point as the engine has the NSI output module and the prop can
effectively free wheel I wonder if I were in a dive if the prop would
effectively be running faster than the output from the gear box thus the
prop would not be over speeding the engine, just the engine would have no
load?<
This is where your rpm limiter would come into play if the throttle was set
high enough. However it occurs to me that if the prop doesn't ever load the
engine it won't help with speed control during final approach and touchdown
- having the ability to have a fine setting on landing is useful as a mild
speedbrake as well as for a subsequent go around.
