Shawn,
You’re probably recalling the insidious nature of the A model transient droop, which is now covered in the manual. Under low power conditions, when the rotor goes high, the fuel controls trim the engines down. This occurs even if the pilot is pulling up on the collective and until the rotor returns to nominal. The result is significant transient droop under specific combinations of ambient conditions, loading and maneuver.
It helps to have a good understanding of the systems when venturing outside of “normal operations.”
I notice your tagline has you in Mojave. Working on anything fun?
