RE: weird prop question
Yeah, but not everybody flys with the throttle fire-walled (wide open throttle). It's nice to have that little extra power just in case... like coming in for a landing and need to go around on short notice.. someone walks on the field for instance.. smack the throttle to full and pull on the elevator and up ya go. Do that with under power and, well, best of luck with that.
