Interesting, a question for those who have flown behind either the SMA or the Centurion. With engine control, is the engine speed governed by power settings or pitch settings? I have always assumed that governor settings would be controlled by fuel input. In effect, if you go from cruise to climb, engine senses rev change and automatically inputs more fuel. Till WOT, pitch remains at cruise setting until revs start to drop then pitch changes to maintain revs....automatically.....autothrottle for lighties?
