In most cases of engine failure you can still adjust the prop pitch at least in the initial phase of the failure, so defaulting to high RPM/low pitch is not likely to limit your options with an engine failure --do need to remember to do this, however. On the other hand, when the prop governor fails then by defintion you cannot adjust the prop so it is preferable in this situation for the default position to be high RPM. ===== Richard Kaplan rkaplan@flyimc.com www.flyimc.com
