Default RE: Engine bogs down on steep climb

I agree that the .46 is a bit of power for the plane, I don't use full throttle except for climbs, but when I do I can hear the engine rpm getting pulled down. I just wanted to know if that's normal. I'll try setting it a few clicks richer next time.

Also, any tricks for getting it to slow down for landing? So far I have had to get it 200 yards out and cut the throttle to just over idle and give it some space to slow down otherwise the the plane is moving to fast and I have to make another pass.

Perhaps another prop would slow it down?
