I didn't mean anything about the Stude example you gave. I meant this one! Surely if you're at 95kt and climbing at the point of EFATO, the best course is to preserve your 95kt, before you deal with any engine controls, no? No point in falling out of the sky with a properly feathered prop, is there?
