Milt, the only mention in the US Army Air Corp “Pilots Flight Operating Instructions” is briefly, warm up at 1300 RPM, check mags at 2300 RPM, exercise prop to cause a 300 RPM drop, and to check that the automatic manifold pressure regulator does not exceed one inch Hg difference between the 2300 and 2000 RPM when exercising the prop. No mention of performing full power runs although a note says “WARNING – Prior to any ground run up, the tail of the airplane should be anchored securely to a fixed object.”
