I've had a 450 Pratt backfire a once or twice when it was momentarily shut down and restarted. That's about it.

Didn't hurt the engine as far as anyone could tell.

No shane, they usually re-up to be shot down again. And they don't salute.

Actually I rarely turn my engine off.

Don't remember dying from it, but if it makes you feel better we'll say I did. A lot! I died a lot! Crazy me. And I learned my lesson by golly!

Last time around Midnight eventually recanted, agreeing that engine toggleing was no more advantageous than chopping throttle to idle (the advantage being to slow down quicker).

Its pretty easy to test, just set autospeed and compare decent rate with engine off and at idle. Same decent rate means same drag.

I doubt theres much if any difference in roll rate either.

I think it should be left like it is. Toggling allows people without a hotas setup to manipulate throttle just as quickly.

im not really talking about Slowing down...

Its the roll rate when in scissors that i see the biggest advantage..

Defntly a difference..but you have to be quik and precise...
