The pilots who have recently reported their findings on the LML support the first half of the above claim, that high boost at full power does not kill the engine.  But those findings don't contradict the second part of the claim, that high boost will kill the engine below either 31" MAP (Beech test pilot) or 24" (NTSB).  I'm not planning to test it in my airplane; I'll stay on the ground and have a beer instead.

I will test the full range of possible power settings this weekend and report back, pump on, pump off, wax on wax off etc. I may even put it on DVD so we can play it at the LML Forum -- but this is going to cost you all a bunch of beers at Oshkosh!
