Many thanks - that helps (a bit)
If I follow your explanation, increasing the throttle increases the power. However, the RPM is constrained to a constant speed by the governor - which does so by varying the propellor pitch? That seems reasonable. Errr.... what's the pitch lever for then?

I am just trying to build up some post PPL hours and haven't yet had a chance to "move up a gear" - perhaps in a few months (or so)
Thanks again.
