could anyone offer a definite answer to this.
With the clutch in the 'engage' position in flight and light coming on in flight for 're-tensioning' as it's often generally referred to, is the clutch only able to tighten the belts or is the clutch able to move in either direction as required to maintain tension? (I appreciate that usually it would be a tensioning of the belts due to expansion with heat, but the clutch light often comes one with both a large increase in power AND lowering the power).
