Carbon brakes work fine cold
Excuse my ignorance, but whatever...

That is the same reason why F1 Cars do a warm-up lap while at certain sections of the track, accelerating against a depressed brake pedal

Never having flown a canadian fishing trawler, but in do have 4000hrs in turbo props
Of which all had propeller rpm's of 1550+.
Ever flown a Turbo Prop that is certified to climb at 29 257 Kg's with the propeller spinning at 850 rpm? If you did, you would know and understand the Aerodynamic Forces/Efficiencies available when pulling those Six Bladed Dowty R408's into Discing... As mentioned before (on another thread), they are so efficient that if care and finesse is not used, you can yank the passengers forward (shoulders away from the seatback), without intending to...(using Discing only)

Your 4x4xFar does not have those!

Be interested to see what the torque gauges say when the props are in 'beta' range.
If it is any consolation, the Torque is at a Max of 35% when in Full Reverse.

Now signing off on this thread, as it has become as boring and stereo type as trying to "Watch the Paint fall off the Mona Lisa..."
