additional questions

many thansk for your answers although i am not sure i have clearly understood the relationship between MAP, RPM and collective with particular reference to overtorque.

Is then a true statement that basically when you ass throttle as you increase the collective, you are compansating for the extra induced drag?

And during an autorotation, the reason why you lower the collective, is it to minimize the induced drag and thus the decaying of the rrpms? but why do you have to flare a well?
And how is the rotor spun up by the upwash?

Many thanks
