REFLECTOR: Tractor vs Pusher props

[Laurence Coen]

Big pitch is an advantage with the engine silent.  I just finished my 
complex/high performance training in a Mooney and the recommendation in the 
event of power loss was to pull the prop control all the way out (low 
speed).  This was supposed to extend the glide by as much as 5%.
