REFLECTOR: slowiing down

Wed Sep 26 18:30:30 CDT 2007

That method is exactly what  I do but Ive heard others (Not V pilots) push 
prop IN to increase RPMs to simulate gearing down a 5 speed transmission. 
Pulling back on the throttle lowers power and manifold PSI in such a way, 
that it cools the engine to quickly but like you, thats what Ive been doing 
for some time now. Hhummmmm
