Power setting is reduced to climb thrust at a nominal altitude, normally 1500' above airfield elevation. As with any aircraft in a climb, or descent, pitch attitude is what controls airspeed not power adjustments. ie if airspeed starts to increase, pitch is increased, if airspeed decreases, pitch is decreased.
