I noticed that the prop will now overspeed at high speeds in addition to the underspeed at very low speeds. This is very cool.

Sorry I still dont get the idea.

The prop only has a finite range in pitch that it can use to remain CS - once you go too fast...

It did this last patch too

Was cool to do dive and watch the RPM slowly climb past the set range

S!

Now we need damage from over-revving.

Right after we get engines that can't run on MIL power 24/7.

Had my Tiffie up to 5,000 rpm last night.

RAM when you go fast, the prop will "windmill" - the airflow is driving the engine instead of the other way around.

The prop will go to the coarsest pitch setting to compensate but the pitch range was not always enough to keep the speed under control, even if the pilot pulled the throttle to idle.
